We made it to Capri Court in Houma. It is not the best campground we have been in but it is the only one around. It has the facilities we need but the sites are small and there is a lot of soft, muddy turf around but we will make the best of it as we paid for the week in advance since it was Ma

Last night we met a man from Madawaska, Maine who, based on the position of a small branch taped to his trailer, promised us a sunny day. Well, he can put that branch office of the weather channel in another spot where the sun don't shine because it has rained most of the day. We went into tow

Thursday was a full work day and we worried about rain all of today. After lunch the rain was holding off but we lost power and it was out over the entire area so we got the afternoon off because we only had power tools and no generator. John & Coby followed us home and we gave them a tour

It rained all night and was pouring this morning. We took a little longer getting ready this morning and then went to the warehouse in downtown Beaumont. We got there just in time to help put things away because the day was called on account of rain. By that time it was just sprinkling so we w
