Happy Birthday, frankdbunny!
Hope you have a great day!
Also... I'm alive (obviously). Hurricane Ike wasn't as scary as I remembered Alicia being. Of course, we were much closer to the coast (and the eye) during Alicia. And I was 11 back then. This time we evacuated further inland to The Woodlands, but still got hit by the hurricane. My house survived just fine. We lost our fence and some trees during the hurricane, but that's about it. Could have been much worse. My family's bayhouse is still standing, but it's probably not going to make it. Too much water damage. *sigh* We'll know for sure in a week or two when we can get the insurance co. out to assess it. Kids don't go back to school until Sept. 29th.
I am leaving for a trip to new England with my mom, dad and sisters on Sept. 26th and will be back on Oct. 2nd. Then I go to Florida Oct. 9-12 to see the shuttle launch. My friend's husband is piloting this shuttle flight. It's his last trip to space, so they invited us to come see the lift off in person. My husband has to work so it'll just be me and the boys. We're staying near Cape Canaveral Wednesday and Thursday night. Friday and Saturday we'll be in Orlando. My son is dying to go to Gatorland, so we'll probably do that Friday.
How is everyone? Sorry I've been so absent lately.
Happy belated birthday to anyone on my friends list I may habe missed. Hope everyone is doing well.
