I also live in St. Charles and like Jeremy said all most everything is
back to normal with
very little damage except for tree and wind. Being that we faired so
well my family and I
feel almost embarressed while looking at the devastation the rest of
our fellow New Orleanians
sustained. I hope everyone gets the funds and help they need to rebuild
and here's to having
a beighnet and cafe au lait with each other in the coming months.
Sincerely,
