Hello all.
Thanks so much for being concerned about us. We are doing fine.
Jackie is still out of school they are hoping to have the schools open on Monday. We lost electricity on Friday morning and got it back monday morning after it went on and off for quite a while. We had some damage but not that much. Trees, fence (gone) and some damage to the roof of the house. Our street flooded but it did not get in the house. (that was scary) But we are doing okay. My brother and parents still do not have lights but they are both okay. The damage that IKE did was pretty bad. Our city like most others is going to take a long time to get back to normal. But thanks for your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate them all.

I am the same way.A lot of people around here were without power and still are.We got the heavy winds from hurricane Ike.We did have power but Gabby's friend wo blocks over did not get it until today.Mil was also withouut power and water.Luckily she had a place to stay so she did not have to stay with us,especially since Dale is out of town.Not sure what is taking them so long with the power here,it isn't a disaster zone.Although the winds were a little scary Sunday night.

Fortunately (and unfortunately also since we really needed it), we didn't get even a drop of rain.

Wow, what an experience for you guys!! While it sounds like you had 'minimal' damage, it is still a lot of damage! Bummer about making up the school time for Jackie. I think they need to build in some hurricane time for you guys....like that will happen.


Everyone here is just fine, we had LOTS of Ike rain, but we missed all the winds and such that were in Ohio.


Once again, glad you are safe and hope you'll be able to visit often.
