Lou, The Week

Lou has some sort of problem with the skin around his mouth. It started as a cold sore and grew into something larger. We're probably going to have him see the Dr. today. If you have any idea what this is, let me know.


It feels like it has been such a long time since we have gotten a good night's sleep. Last night was the best that I think I (and we) have ever had. Two out of the last three nights, we had a cat howling for hours outside our house. I finally tried to quiet it down around 2-3 AM by opening the door and making a hissing sound. It worked. The cat actually belongs to Chris and Kelli upstairs and the cat didn't show up all day - I am not sure if it was because I scared it or not. It finally came home at bedtime and they put it in their house.

Our friend Kris B. is coming tomorrow with a team of people. She asked if there was anything that we wanted her to bring. We have her a list of things and are excited to see her and excited to get the things we requested. The team of people that she is bringing is going to help the Netherland folks out with rebuilding a home - they had asked if there was anything that they could do.

The folks from the Netherlands are leaving on Thursday then we'll be left with three Samaritan's Purse people. I am not sure when they are leaving - perhaps a couple more weeks. They are working with to secure non-food items for the people affected by the hurricanes.
