Some photos from New Orleans

Katrina's destruction has affected us all. Jackie brought home some photos (how many photos? oh, several thousand...) of the results of a Cat. 4 hurricane striking a floodplain- here are a few.

Birthday present

Jackie finally got her birthday present while she was back....a digital camera! Here are some of her photos, of family and of a trek to the beach with Barbara and Pocket.

Jackie came home for the weekend!

Thursday night she asked me what my plans were for Friday night...and could I pick her up at the airport! She said she just wanted to come home and sleep, but we had time for two potlucks, a hike to Square (soon to be renamed Chard) Bay, and...lots of sleep.
