Romona - Thank you so much for being concerned. It is so nice to know someone cares. Although our family is close by and we are checked on frequently, it is still comforting to know someone is wondering about you. I have been very concerned about those in the path of "FLoyd" My prayers are with them all. Have also been praying for the "hurting" whether physical or emotional. We are trying to get our mobile home ready for winter and so are in and out and away from the computer.. Tomatoes are almost ready to can again. This will just about finish the crop. We have shared our Grandson's watermelons with anyone who will take one. Very busy time. I enjoy, more than you ever know, being able to "eavesdrop" on all your "sharings" For my part, you can continue - Love--Grandma Fern

I have a question for everyone. Is there a receipt for soap that uses NO lye. I want to make soap but my husband doesn't think I should be exposing myself to such things,( I'm a recovering lymphoma patient, have been for 17 years, but he's still protective).

I know that Mom had mandatory evactuation by 4pm Monday. I can reach her voice mail just fine, but she isn't there to answer it. I still have not heard a word, so am hoping that she is driving north to KY to my aunt's and will try to call me later. I really thought I'd hear by now. Have to leave for work. Will check in after school later today. Prayers are with everyone that is in the way of this monsterous hurricane. Nancy: benttree@bright.net

To those in Floyd's path--- Though we need the rain here, I hope the storm is not nearly as bad as predicted, and that each of you stays safe and dry. Do not take chances with your lives for the sake of your possessions. Hoping to be hearing the "stories" soon from you all of the adventures you have during the storm. Lynn

From: Joann Holland <joemar@kyol.net> I appreciate the fact that I am accepted with you all knowing I am a Mormon. Joann, We should ALL be excepted, no matter what religion, creed, or color!!!! Why shouldn't I, being a Baptist, accept you? Does that make you any less than me? Absolutely NOT! Hope you know that. I would NEVER be offended by someone else's religion. Bobbie

Elizabeth, Have a great trip & hope you find a genealogy "pot of gold"!!!! Bobbie

Barbara, Sandy, Nancy, Will be praying for all of you!!! PLEASE be careful & don't wait too long to leave if you have to get out!!! Bobbie
