The Morning After...

Well, we're still online and definitely safe!  We were up late and through the night, mostly watching and listening to 11's coverage.  The wind kicked up and the rain came, but I don't think we were ever in real danger.  So, we're fine--this morning has brought many phone calls and texts...our friends in Brenham haven't reported anything worse than limbs down and power outages, so we're praying that's the extent of it here.

For our friends and family in Houston, I hope that's all you have to deal with, as well.  We're still waiting to hear about the east side of town; from the reports, it looks like there was a lot of water over there, so we'll see.  I hope all of our Houston friends and family are safe--those of you we've talked to so far have about the same reports as here--limbs down and power outages.

We've taken the tape down and started cleaning up the stuff we had out to prepare...but we're feeling pretty lucky that that's all we're facing today.  We all know from Rita that the power can still go off, but hopefully we won't have to worry about that.

If we haven't talked to you, yet, let us know that you & your home are okay...keeping all of you in Ike's path in our prayers.
