Well I'm back from vacation early (missed my grands & dachshunds!!). All motels were full so we had no choice but to drive all the way home from NC. There was just us & one other vehicle on the road coming this way for a good bit of the way , so we made good time getting back home. We got back in time to batten down the hatches before the hurricane came through our area. It seems things are up & working, & everyone around is ok. There's a little bit of clean up, several power outages, & stuff, but not near what South East Texas is having to go through. Today, I had a feud with a tree while doing picking up some tree branches, etc. & didn't fare too well there (tree won!) It was definitely a non emergency, but have a killer headache now...... Please bear with me while I catch up on emails. It will probably be at least tomorrow before I get in the swing of things again. I know several of you live in Rita's path. Please, please check in & let us know that you are ok. Bettie <>< -- A Top 16 Country Song If the Phone Don't Rang, You'll Know It's Me.
