Let's see... what happened since the 15th?

 We continue to welcome "newcomers" and seem to have settled into a 
wait-and-see mode... still don't know when we'll be able to return, but 
we're working on it.

16th
"Guest" count: 6 (Same as the 15th)

17th
"Guest" count: 7 (1 left - 2 came back)

18th
"Guest" count: 7 (1 came back - 1 left)

19th
"Guest" count: 8 (1 came back)
 Son-in-law's parents and grandmother stopped by to pick up mail and 
catch a quick nap before leaving.
 My friend from Chelan, WA who had been volunteering with rescued 
animals, came back and will be headed back to Washington on the 20th.

20th
"Guest" count: 4 (4 left - the lowest since 8/27)
 Son-in-law went back to meet with a contractor about repairs and will 
spend the night elsewhere. My daughter's aunt and cousin left (but 
will be back.)
 We took my friend from Chelan, WA to the airport.
 The "returnees" come and go, too... all trying to see about home
repairs and trying to get back into the swing of things with jobs... 
and ALL of us are receiving regular mail from FEMA.

Stay tuned...
