I often think we have so many material objects that they fail to hold any significance.

Alas, her home was in Chalmette, so it was inundated to the roof by Katrina. They could find almost nothing to save in the debris. It's wonderful that your grandfather's elephant lamps survived. You and your aunt are lucky to have them, and I know you treasure them. <em>Sphinx Ink's last blog post..<a href='http://sphinxink.blogspot.com/2008/05/sound-of-success.html' rel="nofollow">The Sound of Success</a></em> I had an aunt who had a collection of elephant-with-upraised-trunk figurines.

While we have been extremely lucky and have weathered many hurricanes ourselves (including Opal in '95) I can't imagine the devastation you experienced from Katrina. I'm so glad you were able to save even these small memories of such a special place. I wouldn't try to remove the mud either. <em>Tara R.'s last blog post..<a href='http://ifmomsaysok.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/is-that-a-clutch-in-your-pocket-or-are-you-just-happy-to-see-me/' rel="nofollow">Is that a clutch in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?</a></em> That brought a lump to my throat.
