Anyone for a round of "dot-to-dot" is welcome to come over and play on our roof!
And here is our roof modeling the latest in fashion roofing wear... a beautiful tarp! 
This is a leaf on a banana tree. My mom loves to garden and the patio between our houses looks like... or LOOKED like... a small piece of a tropical island. This is what a banana leaf should look like if it doesn't have to withstand 90 mph winds with higher gusts. Notice how large this one leaf is and how it is all in one piece.
This is what our banana trees and their leaves look like now. Notice how the look like they have been run through an industrial sized shredder!!! Yikes!!
Here we have.... shingles. Uggghhhhhhhhh torn up shingles that were strewn all over our yard during Hurrican Gustav. My friend Polly who lives two houses down said she saw shingles from our house flying all the way to her house. Crazy!!! This is just one of the many, many piles of shingles we collected the day after Gustav.

That is terrible! You are really missing a lot of shingles! And the poor banana trees! I hope your insurance is covering most of the roof!! I have a friend who does repairs and works through the insurance companies if you need someone.
Laughing and crying reading your blog tonight... haven't had a chance to catch up on my favorite blogs until just now.
I'm SO glad y'all came through it OK. We were spared any serious damage; just a couple of trees and our fence and all of our cold food =(
The past 2 weeks have been such a roller coaster of emotions. You have captured my thoughts and feelings well here.
LOVE having you for a friend & I pray that you (that we ALL) stay safe from IKE.
