Hurricane Ike

We didn't go to Gustof, but we are still on alert. If Ike goes into the gulf, we will be called out. Probable this weekend or on Monday. There are several teams down there now and still lots of chain saw work to do. They are going home this week, so they need replaced. We went up Monday and got our mudout trailer cleaned up. It hadn't been cleaned since it was used by the people at Worthington. It was a horrible mess. So, we are in a wait and see mode again. It's when you don't buy any fresh produce and only buy milk in 1/2 gallons.
Yesterday I picked two gallons of rasberries and made it all into jelly. And there are at least that many green berries out there. Avril, Alex, and Ireland would love it. And I'm sure the rest would too, if they could come and pick.

Hurricane Gustof

Yes, we have been put on alert. We don't know when or where we will be going, but it will be some time next week, we think. It will all depend where the need is. At this point throughout the US, there are 23 of our feeding units and shower units already on the field. The expect to serve over 500,000 meals a day. We will go when they call out the mud out units and the chain saw units. We are hoping that Papa and I can run a shower unit somewhere. We did that in Franklin, IN and really liked it. Anyway, keep those people in your prayers. You can't imagine the devastation when you lose everything you own and then we have to come in and finish tearing up their homes. Love you all. We'll try to keep you posted.

Meet Bennie. The lovable new pet at the Bolin house. He had gotten away this morning and this is his happy to be back smile.

Don't faint

Now gang, I have a news flash for you. The Bolins have an indoor dog..that's pretty amazing in the first place if you know Sheri. The flash is that Sheri actually likes him. He's a lassa apsa (or however you spell it). He belonged to K.C.'s boyfriend's little brother that was killed in the car accident a year ago. The parents have gotten jobs that require them to be gone more and they just couldn't take care of him. And it's Nate's senior year of high school, and he's working at a store, so he won't be there, so they asked the Bolins if they would take him and amazingly, they said yes. K.C. said she even heard Tim talking baby talk to him the other day. He's really cute. I'll try to get a picture today. Also some Bolin news. Michael was offered a job at a coal mine for quite a bit more money, but 72 hours a week. He went an talked to his boss yesterday and they counter offered, so he has chosen a career over money. It would have really cut into his music at church and lots of other things. We all think he made a wise decision. He's looking for a place of his own now.
