Gustav update

We made it through another Hurricane! This one wasnt nearly as bad as Katrina! Robert and Cynthia called us late saturday night to say they were on thier way and arrived at about 12:30am from New Orleans.

(Oh, sorry for all the misspelled words and grammar problems in the last blog.) Click on each picture for a closer look if you want to.

Cynthia is afraid of dogs so we were concerned about that but everything went fine. Steve met them in the drive way and got them settled inthe camper . We put them in there Sat. night so we would not disturb them when we got up for church Sun. morning. However, they were up and dressed before we were and came to church with us.

Sunday afternoon we all ate at Steves mom house. Ryan and Kelly and they kids were there and we had a great time! I had made a lazania ( how do you spell that? )

After lunch we came back home and hunkered down. Robert and Cythinia helped put up all the outside furniture and ladders etc.. and they moved into the guest bedroom in the house.

Gustav hit us Monday morning and it is still raining today, Wednesday. We have recieved about 5 inches in our rain gauge that Steve put out before the storm in my soon to be garden....that is the pool that Katrina ruined.

We have enjoyed lots of movies and dominoes. Thankfully we did not lose power for more than a few seconds at a time.

Hunter stayed with us until Tuesday when he left for Hattiesburg to work .

Robert and Cynthia were able to leave this morning for home. They are not sure if they will have power but Robert wanted to get back to work.

About the pictures #1 Steve and Robert doing what men do best during hurricanes, sleep with food close at hand! ( notice the bags of chips behind them)

On the next blog you will see Cynthia, Jack our lab happy to be in the house and the effects of the wind and rain because as Hunter remined me....you cannot see the wind.
