Just in case you were wondering what we are doing today....We are hunkering down. We think we are prepared for whatever may come our way. A friend told me this morning that my house is pretty strong, we'll see how strong it is or hopefully we won't have to.
Anyway, for those of you not in Texas and aren't getting the luxury of seeing the Hurricane Ike news everywhere you go, TV, Internet, grocery stores, gas stations, Home Depot, traffic lines, etc... You can follow Hurricane Ike here. School and all extracurricular activities have been cancelled starting tonight through the weekend and Steve's office has been closed for today and tomorrow.
Although, we have not been advised to evacuate like the many coastal counties, we have been advised to stay put inside. We should start to feel the affects of this Hurricane sometime late Friday night into the day on Saturday.
My first instinct is to clean my house, do all the laundry and cook some meals. But what to do with the kids? If we lose are electricity it will be a fun adventure, right?
We hope everyone has a safe weekend.

Cooking meals is a good idea...thanks. And yes, we should get the girls together. Good luck.
So, I feel a little LAME for posting about the "sissy" storm we had when you guys are on "lock down" for Hurricane Ike! I hope everything goes ok! I'll have your family in my prayers.
Oh, Melissa, I believe the word is HUNKER but I'm a newbie to this hurricane business! Ha ha! You're so smart. I'm gong to go cook! Good luck and hopefully we'll see you Sunday!
Oh, thanks McKell. I am sure it was ONLY a typo, right? Have a fun tongiht!
I just got on your blog for the first time in a while and had no idea hurricane Ike might be a problem for you. I hope all is well. It's Friday night and I feel like calling you but I can't find your number. (Such is my life) I hope all is ok with you!! Blog me and let me know how you weathered the storm.
As for Kevin, he can be ruff and tumble, but not as much as the boys would like. It's a hurricane at my house everyday, and I have the mess to prove it!
I saw Cynthia last Monday. We had a wonderful visit. She had a surgery and got some vision back in one eye. She looks great and is her same spunky fun self. Wouldn't it be fun for a girls retreat some day. All the cousins.
Lastly, I want to say how beautiful I think you are!! You really have it together too! I'm just not. My boys beat it out of me. I think you are as close to perfect as they come. Good for you!
Sure do love you Cousin!! Linda
It's Friday night at 10:00 pm. Thinking about what you must be experiencing right now. I did some researching and from what I can tell, the eye of the hurricane is going to go right over you... am I right?!? I had no idea! Please stay safe! Love Ya, Linda
