Finders Keepers??

We all know the saying "Finders Keepers" right? I always say that when I find money in Jay's pants pockets after I've just washed them; or if find something laying around the house that I might be able to use. You get the point. Well, the last couple of days we've been working on getting all of the debris out of the back yard. This has been no easy task. Besides a bunch of trees and branches, here's a list of what else we found. I'll let you decide if finders should be keepers.

• Office chair (the kind with wheels and arm rests)
• Flip flop (just one. And no, Melissa, it isn't mine!)
• Igloo cooler, complete with the Texans logo
• Buoy
• Oyster basket
• About a dozen plastic oyster containers
• Pieces (yes, multiple) of Maribel's (for those of you who don't know, this is... er, was... a bar in Seabrook. It used to be an old whore house, so the whole outside was painted bright pink. Unfortunately, Ike wiped out the whole thing. There literally is nothing left.) We did keep a couple boards to hang in our new house. We had to. It's not every day that part of a bar you frequent ends up in your yard!
• A lid to something with a return address label for a lady in Seabrook (two towns over)
• Plastic inflatable floaty ring (like the kids use in the pool)
• A piece of a pier

We continue to wait on FEMA and insurance. We understand from our adjuster that he is submitting our preliminary claim to the insurance company this weekend, so maybe (fingers crossed!) we'll hear something this week.
