New Orleans Recovery

Jim spent last week with his family in New Orleans, helping to re-create some semblance of a backyard after Katrina. He took some pretty amazing photos that show the destruction in their backyard. While they were lucky they avoided any flooding, they did unfortunately lose two big trees, which will take 20 years to regrow once they get replanted (if we're lucky)!
Jim made it back to Dallas right before Rita hit, although Rita in Dallas brought blue skies, 100 degree temperatures and light wind...not exactly the rough weather they were talking about all week. For those of you not in New Orleans, these pictures hardly do it justice, but it gives you an idea (photos to come shortly...)
