Christmas 2011

As I reported earlier, we are back in the house and it is quite comfortable. We are still trying to find important everyday items. Some are in storage units, some are buried in all the stuff stored upstairs. We have not yet found our dishes. We have pots and pans, or at least most of them. Christmas dinner was held at our house with all relatives and one of our contractors attending. I made the usual potroast dinner with beef, pork and venison roasts. We ate with paper and plastic plates and plastic dinner ware.... it went well. A good time was had by all. Things are getting back to normal in the house. Outside is another matter. A lot of dirt and very few houses inhabited. Some Eastwood Park residents are in FEMA trailers. I am estimating that maybe a dozen of us are in our homes. That is out of 162 houses in Eastwood Park. In the next short while I am going to walk the neighborhood and get an actual count.
