My Grandpa's House.. and Graduation

    Nearly everyone is aware of the hurricane that has destroyed so much. My Grandpa Potter's house very near Gulf Port and Biloxi, you can see what the area looked like before Katrina. I went out on that peir many times, even with my sister when she threw the casting net over the side instead of holding onto the string. I wonder if it is still there at all. My granpa was in New York when the hurricane hit, so very thankfully he wasn't there. Below are the pictures of his house. His house, and the houses on either side of his are the only ones left on the street, from what I've been told.

This is the front of my grandpa's house. In the middle you can see what looks like a hallway or a doorway... that's where my grandpa's computer room was.

Here are debris all over his backyard.

This is the side/back view of my grandpa's house.

Here is the back of the house. What looks like it could be a garage on the right is where my grandpa's bedroom should be. You can also see a car with a pine tree smashed on top of it, managing to land inbetween the two houses instead of on them.

    My prayers are with my grandpa right now. It could be several weeks before he is even able to get to the house to see what, if any, is still there.

    As for me, well, I will definatly, without any problems, be walking in December of '05. The two classes I will have to complete after walking I can take at TCC. On Tuesday I will go and have a "graduation check" to ensure that I do have all the classes that I need. Then, in November, I'll get all the information about walking and such.

    I'll be leaving for Tulsa on Friday. I have several things I need to do at the house. What I'm doing the rest of the week, I'm not entirely sure. I may be going back to Stillwater and camping with karate folks, and I am highly thinking of going to Norman and visiting several friends there. The biggest thing is the lovely gas prices, so I'm still not entirely sure.

    I have to now get an e-mail written about what I want for my birthday, and to let my sister and mom know I posted this.

    TUMEO.
