...Since the last report?

Still don't know when we'll be able to return...
         
25th "Guest" count: 5 (same as yesterday)
         
26th "Guest" count: 6 (Daughter's cousin came back)
         
27th "Guest" count: 6 (same as yesterday)
We evacuated a month ago today.
         
28th "Guest" count: 6 (same as yesterday)
         
29th "Guest" count: 5 (Son-in-law gone for the night)

Since my son-in-law's drive time has increased with us
staying at my sister's, if he has to work late, he sleeps at
a friend's home who lives closer to the job site. My daughter
and her oldest daughter are leaving tomorrow. Granddaughter
will spend some time with her great grandmother while my
daughter does some clean up on their house. She and my son-
in-law will spend the week end doing clean up and be back
here to my sister's Sunday night.

Still no insurance claim adjuster, but they're going to try
and get the roofer started ASAP anyway. Before the roofer
starts, they need to get up into the attic and get stuff out
of the roofer's way so that's what they'll be working on over
the week end. Plus they need to get the chain saw going on
the two downed trees in the back yard. We understand that
insurance will cover at least part of the removal of the oak
tree (because when the oak tree fell, it took out part of the
chain-link fence. Since the pecan tree "just" fell, we don't
think insurance will cover removal.

Stay tuned...
