Well, the radiator hose broke on our car so it wasn't too bad to get fixed. The mechanic did say that all the hoses on the car were original (1992) and would likely not last much longer. So, we are keeping our eyes out for a good deal on a minivan.
Last night I attended the Disaster Relief training so that I can go to Mississippi and help with Katrina recovery. I am excited about going but of course there were the negatives they mentioned.....smell of dead fish and other animals, snakes, cold showers, tetanus shots, etc. Nonetheless, I can't wait to go and be able to help someone who has lost everything. Hopefully I can work things out to be able to go in the next month or so. They are sending teams down every week and probably will be for quite a while.
