Sorry! I managed to miss the Wednesday post. Here it is:
D'Iberville, MS March 8, 2006
Hello to all! This is my turn to write. Joe and I arrived here on Sunday and spent some time driving around D'Iberville. I think I recognized some areas from the pictures the previous group shared with us. The devastation is incredible. I can't believe the junk that is still stuck in the trees and along the roads. Can you believe that Joe and I volunteered to help a builder to complete wall board? We have hung, mudded, taped and spackled until we are as white as the mud! Needless to say we are exhausted by the end of each day. (They don't pay dry wallers enough money!) The home we are working on belongs to a blind individual who is homeless at the moment. Homes on both sides of his were washed off their foundations - one almost hit the home we are in. Another house in the same block is completely gone. Many are still standing, but completely destroyed inside. This experience is amazing and I hope to come back. Joe and I wish you all well!
