Oh Ike...


Yes Mr. Ike is on its way to the Texas Gulf Coast. Seems to be headed right at Houston. We are not in a mandatory evacuation zone so we are going to 'Hunker Down' and ride out the storm. Unfortunately our peaceful river house may get hit pretty hard, but we are praying it makes it through the Storm with minimal damage...

During the prparation for Ike, I I have made some observations....I have always known that people are very interesting creatures but when you add some excitement, it is even more interesting to see how people behave. For example, why is it that when disaster is upon us we grab as many cans of beans, rice, and chili as we can? Who said we have to eat beans when a natural disaster hits? And why is it that we sit in a trance and watch the news for two days straight, listening to them repeat the same information over and over again...SO you can find us glued to the tv, eating beans, and 'hunkering down' (as they like to say). I hope that all of you who are in the Houston area are safe and sound...and we will see you after the storm.

You have been on my mind since they said it was heading in your direction. It was pure chaos here for two days as they said it was heading our way. Stay safe and I hope to hear how it went when it is all over. Love you all...

We are sitting here in Tomball, eating beans and watching the same news over and over. Stay safe and see you on the other side!

Love you!
