Part 2: Photos from 12/30

Miss Anna's house--the oldest house and 1st school in Pearlington, Mississippi
The addition's wall to the right was taken off by Katrina and all her furniture and dishes washed out with the 9 feet of water that swept in. She found things blocks away but managed to retrieve an amazing number of family treasures in the mud--she had almost 2 feet of mud in the house!
Sammy and Sandy putting the finishing touches on the garage--all we were initally hoping to get done--we have now done the addition and started on the house!
Douglas was overwhelmed by the warm greeting Miss Anna gave him when he arrived to help after lunch!
Jeff, Sandy, Debbie, Me, Miss Anna, Melanie, Sammy, and Ellen after our special lunch
Jeff in the foreground and Douglas on ladder in the back working on the primer for the house
The cross and the rocks (from Mexico) survived Katrina intact and in exactly the same position--Miss Anna calls it a miracle---with a wall of the house gone along with 36 trees, this cross survived in it's vertical position, unmoved!
The girls wanted a picture in front of the "old thing" so Bill & Guy stepped behind them :)
The college kids and teenagers at the beach
The Walton Family--Bill and Lynn each on their 4th trip and Douglas on his 6th
Far left a new house down the road--to the right of the hydrant the ruins of another......
The Gulf of Mexico from the beach in Waveland...and 2 shoes!
Sunset over Bay St. Louis looking in places much as it did on our first trip............
