The aftermath of the storm Camille hit in August, so it was time for school to start and we had to move quickly. This time around, I didn’t care where we moved. I just wanted to be settled back down somewhere safe with my family. So we moved to Picayune where John had found a rental home that was just down the street from 1221 Stemwood Drive, where we eventually settled and where I’ve been ever since. With our belongings mostly wiped out, it was a very easy move. Little by little we started piecing a home together again.
Thank goodness for family. Everyone pitched in to help clean out the house after the storm.
