Signs at Pratt and at Haviland	The Birds Return - first couple of days, it was total silence and several of us realized we were hearing and seeing birds again	Mother's Day and Church Service	Ministers and Priests from all faiths
It was an inspirational service	Kim and her Mom, Linda	400 Bibles were donated	Opportunity for friends to connect
Good for a laugh	Kim knows now why this hangs in her house	Brian must return to Garden Plain	Patty pumps gas the old-fashioned way (and moved the forklift to get to this)
New station	Another group of volunteers	Portable housing	If there was only time for fatigue relief...
Many cars are driven around town in this shape	Tire company continues to do big business - this is our second trip	Another of Kim's restaurants didn't survive! I worry how she will eat!!	This is where they are taking the cars they can't drive
Ki continues removal	This is the third burn pile and the tallest, but probably not the largest	Barn behind is leveled	Funeral services begin...
While others plan to start over	A new line of electrical poles!	While in other parts of town, poles are still wrapped with things	Rodeo grounds - I wasn't sure what they were at first
Note left by Grandma Linda	Time for Patty to return to her home	God Bless Greensburg and the Gambles	If you viewed this far, I hope this helps you understand how precious life and friends are and how little material things matter. I will return often over the next several weeks to help them rebuild however I can. Kim has not seen this picture diary yet. I know it helped her communicate with friends when she couldn't. I hope it helps us all to retain perspective - a new perspective with a lot of help from God.
