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 glad everyone is safe...I hope the people who don't have power get theirs soon.......{{{hugs}}


I do know another lady who lives there(pittsburgh) and she was just able to get online and let us know she was okay....b/c she barely got power back on......she said her dh's truck was in a flooded area and is totaled though......so, they are struggling with one car.

"But, she said her neighbors are all there for each other, so that is helping....some have grills and other's have generators, so every now and then, she can get a warm meal.....which is nice for her and her daughter."


Yep, that's how my neighbors &

Laura, thanks.
Jackie is doing okay in ms. She is starting to get the hang of it. Loves the extras it gives. Hopefully we wont have that many projects. How is Gabby doing?

thanks Tracy. Once I realized the path I can see where some areas needed the rain that did not get it. Maybe thats a blessing. The rains we got were constant and it flooded lots of places. Just be glad your not in Galveston. They are still a little flooded.
