Hi friends

Just a really quick check in to say hi and let you know we are OK. We are back home, and our home is still without power, but tonight, we found a coffee shop in town that has power and a wireless connection, so we are soaking in the glory of hot coffee, air conditioning, and the Internet! Aaaahhhhhhh.....

I have SO much to share with you...lots of photos and anecdotes about life as an evacuee and now Ike survivor.... Let me say, we have it so good compared to so many folks further south and east of us who were absolutely devastated. Although we have no power, we have gas appliances so we can cook and we have hot water....plus, we have been blessed with unseasonably "cool" weather (for us...80 high, 60 low), so opening the windows at night is actually an OK thing! Yep, we got it pretty good...

I so appreciate all your comments and concern - sorry that I don't have time to visit with you all right now...but soon, hopefully very soon, I will be able to spend some quality time with you all...

Meanwhile, please continue to pray for the folks who are suffering...there are thousands and thousands of them. I can't believe that just three short weeks ago my friends from Colorado were here and we were enjoying Galveston and Kemah together...and now...utter devastation in the very places we were...wow....so very sad....

I'm looking forward to sharing more soon...I miss you all so very much...

Hugs and Blessings,
Becky
