I noticed that by older brother http://subarumanandsidekickwilly.blogspot.com/posted a picture that was taken almost at the same angle as one recently taken by another person. The one at the very top shows him on top of the debris pile. He may not be aware of it but when I stood there the previous week I noticed that the pile was an entire house. It was flattened by Katrina and it appears that as it floated toward our house it actually took out the east corner of it. It may make little sense but I remember standing there and noticing that the pipe work floor tile were all connected. The rear of our old house is the background. But what you can't see is that there is no front. This dynamic conveniently served as a gigantic, debris catching glove that collected the subdivision south of the house.
The second photo is the new house. My parents live in a trailer on the same property. This house is bigger and better but I also wonder what our first Christmas will feel like. Will every morning be a reminder for my parents of what happened? Will anyone down there ever completely forget? Well, right now they have a constant reminder as they still wake up in a 30 foot trailer and take a shower in a shed. So if you have to remember I guess it is better to remember the past in a 2400 sq. ft. home.
Nice looking deck isn't it?
