October 17th Update

Hi to everyone back home....Jo and I arrived at the ranch safe and sound Wed. night as planned. We're both pretty tired but I think Jo is doing better than I am.....We spent most of Thursday unpacking and trying to rest...It's still very hot here and as those of you that have been here know it's great to get that rest...I finally made it into town to see the results of the flash flooding Alamos had Sat. night. Only part of the town was flooded, but the part that did got it pretty bad...Water was about 3 to 4 feet up in the houses and it went down quickly leaving 2 to 3 feet of mud inside and 4 feet of mud outside with so many sticks and brush that you can't stick a shovel in it...The Govenor and President of Mexico was here and has sent in equip. and hired labor to help the town..I went in to help but only worked about 30 min. and was exhausted..Just can't seem to get up strength...

There is an anual fellowship day here at the ranch this Sunday..Frank Sanders and his team of 5 are doing most of the work as well as cooking lunch for everyone....I'm guessing there will be about 200 here...They are from South Carolina and have been coming twice a year for several years...They leave next Tues.....

It's great to be here at the ranch but Jo and I are really looking forward to using that fifth wheel trailer next trip....That's all for now-Jo told me to take a nap and rest so I better listen to her...God Bless you all............Jerry and Jo
