Galveston, Texas

     The weather in Galveston this past week has been at a 20 year low.  Luckily, it will be back to normal in a couple of days.  We went as a team to a restaurant and kept our coats on to eat because they didn't have a furnace.  Don't need them here...doesn't get that cold!?! (not until I show up).

     The NOMADS and other volunteer groups are parked at a church that has put in at least 16 RV sites.  We are parked close together, but that helped cut the fierce winds we had the other night.  We are about 2 blocks from the Gulf.  Hopefully, with the better temperatures I can go walk along the water.    

     The fifteen-member team worked this past week in two homes damaged by Hurricane Ike in 2008.  I caulked trim, mudded drywall, and helped lay laminate flooring.  The time here was summed up by the owner of one homes, when he came in and after looking around said,  "I thought it was impossible, but now I think it's possible."
