Progress Report

There is no doubt , Ike socked it to us big time. But we move forward. On the 10thof October we moved from our hotel in The Woodlands to League City a 50 mile move to the other side of Houston. 20 miles away from our home in Galveston. There are two homes involved ruok's who is my Sister-in-Law and Equalities and mine. We now share an apartment in League City until we can move back into our homes. FEMA hasn't given us nothing, they promised to pay for our hotel bill but they renéged. They claim there is an issue with my Social Security number and/or ID. I have used the same social security number for 45 years paid taxes on that account and used it as my Army serial number. I haven't been able to clarify the issue.

Being closer we have made more progress on our homes. rouk's house is pretty much empty and ready for the demo work Ripping out the waterlogged sheetrock, insulation, flooring etc. Our place will probabably be ready next to start in demo. The problem is comming up with the money, although we have insurance they aren't in a hurry to write the checks.

We did get a fair payment for our year old Honda Accord, and we bought a new one to replace it.

Life is a little easier than it was just a couple weeks ago, but it is still hard work. Equality goes to Galveston every day and works on cleaning out the place. I go to work 5 days a week and go to Galveston every Saturday and Sunday. We talk about taking a day off. Its in sight but probably not for a couple more weeks. Things really are getting better and can see now that we will recover.
