List-o-rama

Even though we don't know when we will be able to go back, we've got a list started of stuff we might need to take...so is just sort of a list to start with of things that we may take back with to start clean-up, so if anyone has these type things we could borrow to use let me know and I'll put your name on the list. I'm not sure that we will take all of it to start with, because no power for one, even w/ a generator...we need to just get stuff out initially before we can start the clean up. The mayor of Galveston is saying that it is just not livable down there and won't be for a long while...I know there is a news story on bodies floating out and a man stung a thousand times by mosquitoes swarming and sewage in the streets, etc. So it may be a very long while before we can get back. I personally would like to get there just to get our stuff out and then begin clean up so repairs can start...living there is the last thing on my mind at the moment!

Also if you think of anything that isn't on the list please comment it.

Here's the list...(Thank you Aunt Lisa for the wonderful list you and Aunt Lori brainstormed!!)

We have a lot of carboard boxes that we think are high enough up in our storage that might be fine.
We also have a friend who owns a Taco Bell and he will begin saving all boxes so we will have lots.

Lori said we can probably save our mower & weed eater, just don't pull the cord on them.
