| Blankets made by volunteers from Lower DelMarVa, Wisconsin, Colorado & California |

| Welcome to Saxis, est. 1664 |
 |
| A gentle breeze stirs the marsh grass and rustles the pine needles, but this is a calm day on DelMarVa! |
It's a long ride down the narrow road onto a spit of land known as Saxis Virginia! Marsh grasses and Loblolly Pine trees line that road to Saxis, dotted by small homes and churches. Sanford is one of the settlements lying just a few feet above sea level with many homes on the waterfront. Many houses still have debris by the road side as they are ripping out wallboard and carpeting, and piling wet furniture for disposal. In Saxis I met the mayor, Denise Drewer, and blogger, Brenda Wise. The 3 of us hung out a while in the Volunteer Fire Station, admiring the blankets, talking about the blanketeers and discussing the storm. Firemen and mayor will see that children receive the blankets soon. It's a close community and they know who the children are!

| Damage to crab shanty and pier, destruction of livelihood. |

| U Left One Sandy, Don't Come Back. This was the only pier I saw undamaged. |

Another pier and shanty in ruins
A little humor goes a long way in times of trouble!
