Goodbye Ike!

Nobody knows how much fun hurricane season can be! I feel like a mother hen who can't get her chicks in line to protect them for the big bad storm. Fortunately they are quite able to protect themselves. As Jason said the day before IKE made landfall in Texas....we will be fine mom, this isn't our FIRST hurricane. Keri and Angie and their families have also experienced the forces of nature. No serious damage this season so far. Just annoying power outages and tree limbs down. I don't know how long Jason and Mandy will be without power in Katy, TX (near Houston). They just had a tree down in their front yard but the city of Houston is really messed up.

Congratulations to both son-in-laws.....Chad and Ryan have both had promotions in the last few weeks!! Ryan has also decided to make a career change that has finally come through (finalizing the application/offer/acceptance process with the federal government seems to move at the speed of a herd of turtles running through peanut butter)

I just returned to Arkansas after a week back in Alabama with friends. God I miss those gals so much and the area. It was so much fun seeing them. I am always so sad to have to leave them. . I also spent quality time in my climate controlled storage building. Mostly I stared at the stuff thinking "and I kept this crap why????" Of course the winter clothes and stuff I needed were on the bottom of the piles. I realize now that I hired some bang up movers....The fragile stuff (or the things I needed) was on the bottom under the other heavy stuff. I actually found a wardrobe box at the back, on top of the bookcase, laying down sideways, with the top shoved up next to the wall. I had to be a contortionist to get into that one. My Envoy looked like a scene from the Beverly Hillbillys..full to the brim (minus the rocking chair and granny on top). Can't wait to unload that sucker.
Okay, I'm going to bed now. If you get a chance, check out the beautiful full moon.
Peace Out
