Prepared

Its official. Jaime and I are going home on Sunday. This gives our parish a couple more days to work on things and gives us an opportunity to visit Jaime's family in Natchitoches, LA. Jaime received word yesterday that she's not expected back at work until Monday. With that behind us, a feeling of peace about Sunday, and an end to the three and a half days of rain, we could finally relax a bit. And what better way to relax than to go bowling. I know some of you are wandering how we could go bowling at a time like this. Look, you've got to do something to get things off your mind in situations like this and bowling is a great distraction. Apparently some evacuees from Houma thought the same. We ended up bowling on neighboring lanes and enjoyed visiting with one another. I bowled four strikes in a row to finish out one of the games. No really, just ask Jaime. For a moment I was like the Forrest Gump of bowling. It was great!

Before we left Mangham, we picked up some provisions for our return home. We should be good to go for several days without electricity if needs be. However, I'm still a bit worried about the issue of reliable sewage. About the only problem with a modern sewage system is that when its out, its bad news. I've spoken to several friends who have already returned and even those with power bemoan the lack of flushable toilets. Whatever awaits us in LaPlace, Jaime and I are ready, at least at the moment, to deal with it.
