After a good night's sleep, I arose early and had my first cup of coffee while sitting on the back porch. I haven't gotten the furniture I want for the porch yet as I need to think about it a little more. The fear that maybe another hurricane will make landfall and it would all be a BIG waste of time and money has had me procrastinate this long. Then when I delve deeper it is more than that. We, including me, have gotten so used to material things that we become discontent with what we do have. As soon as new technology is introduced we must have it and discard what is still serviceable. I am positive that many of you who read this will agree with the saying, "money can't buy happiness". I grew up poor, my young Air Force husband and I were poor but as I look back, I only see happiness. There seems to be a stigma attached to being poor as in speaking of Mississippi as the poorest state in the nation but I truly believe there are more happy people "here" than many other places. Why else would we stay?

I snapped a few pictures of new construction in Pascagoula. Sometimes you may recognize a house that I have had on my blog before and that's because they are works in progress. I want to take you to completion.
