SNAKE IN THE VAN !!!!!!!

We finished Antonio and Yolanda's house on friday. Now Antonio can finish the cement on the outside and we'll paint it next week if the group from Houston comes. They sure got a lot of damage from Ike. If they don't come we'll move the families in anyhow.I'm sure they would like to move into their houses, but I asked them if they would wait untill next week. We loaded up all the tools and a few pieces of wood we didn't use and went back to our house in the colonia to unload everything and when I moved the cooler, a snake came out from under it and hid under all the tools. I HATE SNAKES!! Carmello took my machetti and got him. Just a little snake but a snake none the less. It must have gotten into my tool box or bag. Many of the families with the pallet shacks get snakes in their houses from time to time. Scorpions are a frequent visitor as well. We pulled out the table and chairs and made lunch for all the neighbors. Victors Dad chopped all the weedes on our lot with a machetti, it looks great. He's been working on everyones lot as they stay in town while Eliel is in the hospital. We ate sandwiches and enjoyed the shade. Lisa dropped off Ally, Clay, Shelby and Bailey while she took care of some shopping needs. We enjoyed having them for dinner and asking them about living in the orphanage.They love it and going to school with other kids.
