Hurricane Ike

We stayed in Austin over the week-end and got no rain and only "breezy" wind. Heather & Kyle are on their way back home this afternoon. According to nephew, Kyle, who stayed in Sugarland, they have electricity and only a few tree limbs and fences down.Samantha is staying with us for the week and we are going to San Antonio tomorrow. We took her to see Megan play volleyball in an intramural league tournament this afternoon. She likes volleyball because she watched the Olympic coverage.The Good, The Bad & The Ugly:The Good - Family & friends in Houston are all safe.The Bad - The horrible destruction in the hurricane zone and the length of time it will take for families to get back to normal.The Ugly - Roger, Kyle & Carlos having to take the washer/dryer unit (they could not have designed a heavier more awkward one)out of the motor home, load it in the truck and take it to Carlos' garage - where they took it apart and found an underwire from one of my bras between the two drums! Wondered where it went!! Couldn't imagine it "falling" through one of the those little holes -but, it did! Sure made a lot of noise! Needless to say, I'm in BIG trouble!
