I hope your Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/etc was wonderful. I was able to fly home to see my family in Virginia, which was great! I was just there from Friday night until early Monday morning, but it was great to be at home, kicking it in my pajamas with my dad on Christmas morning. We ate a lot of food, we opened a lot of presents, we baked a cheesecake ("adventure pie;" we'll pretend it really looked like this), we played Bananagrams. It was a great weekend.

Aside from teasing you with this delicious Salted Caramel & Vanilla Baked Cheesecake, I wanted to post a few other pictures of my home and office here in Joplin, since I haven't really done that yet and Mom asked me lots of questions about "living arrangements." So, Ma, here you go: the glamorous world of disaster relief.

| Our humble abode. Technically it belongs to the city and I think referees at the nearby baseball field used to use it to change before/after games, so it was unoccupied most of the time. We're pretty sure some unsavory types used to hang out on the front porch there... |

| The office, from across the street. |

| Volunteer Reception Center |
 |
| AmeriCorps Recovery Center (ARC) = the official name for the office. |

| One of our regular volunteers, Chuck, carved this for us. |

| Our job boards - for debris removal, tree work, or special projects. There's lots to do! |
