The last time I took a picture of this front porch it was stained with flood waters from Hurricane Katrina and had the search and rescue markings painted on the brick. The house of my grandparents has since been gutted rebuilt by my aunt, the US&R markings sand blasted away. This is a picture of my dad and his sister on the front porch of her salvaged home. It was so good to see the place as a home again instead of the devastation that I saw on my last visit.
