Life Lessons With Gramma C.

My oldest daughter and her family took a group of college kids to a small town in Mississippi in January to help with the rebuilding. Since I finally have a picture I am re-posting this.

It has been over a year since Katrina and even though we see pictures of New Orleans up and running, many other places still look like a war zone. They helped one family frame a house that had to be torn down and another family to patch the roof of the home that they still were not able to live in - they were in a trailer on the property. The people in the trailer were the only ones remaining in an entire subdivision.

My daughter said so many of the places looked like ghost towns. Various church groups seem to be the only ones helping to rebuild. I guess  American time and money are needed elsewhere.

” The shoemaker‘s children have no shoes“ might be an apt phrase in this case.
