Thank you guys for everything. You are an inspiration for me to keep going, when I think I don't have an ounce of strength left. We are beginning our 3rd week after Hurricain Katrina and still no electricity, air conditioning, no t.v., etc. This Southern heat will sap you of energy early of a morning, since it is so heavy and hot.
We are working about 16 hours a day, 24/7 cleaning up the debris, and mending so many downed spots in the fences. And in some cases, it is so torn up, just re-fencing certain parts. The horses are doing fine, thanks to the donations of horsefeed, supplies, and good wishes from the Mini Horse Community.
Thank goodness some of the stores are back open. It is so strange to go into Walmart these days, and it looks like the entire population of New York City is in there shopping, and with so many shelves bare. We still have over 10,000.00 evacuees here in our town of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and people from the Miss. Gulf Coast, where nearly everything is flattened and "gone with the wind", are shopping here too. But, people are beginning to act like their old civilized selves.
Again I say the biggest THANK YOU ever made, to all of you for helping me. And I know that so many of you are helping others in the ravaged South besides me, so I know they would want me to send their thank you's too. The rest of the nation has been so giving and generous to our area.
GOD BLESS YOU,
Ann Simmons
