take a hike, ike

We're somewhere south of Lufkin.........that's as far as we could make it last night. I was reported by one of my own children to the head of the convoy we were in. I guess I was swerving...... We're on our way to my Aunt's home to wait out the storm.
So much for starting school. So much for a lot of things. I guess we'll just watch the Weather Channel to find out how the rest of our year will be spent.
I need to practice what I've been preaching..........keep your mind and thoughts on good things. Things that edify. Instead of Timbuktu or Smithereens. That's where things get blown to. Timbuktu and Smithereen thoughts, do not edify.
So, today is 9/11. Looks like it will be the birthday of our 5th grandchild. We were in the lobby eating breakfast and the news showed some clips from 7 years ago..........a man was sitting with a picture of a woman, probably his wife. All he has now is a picture.
I'm not so bad off. I have pictures AND my family.
Happy day to you all.

How many vehicles did you take? All of them? I am SO relieved that C. had opportunity to go home and pack a few things.

Send me e-mails to update; I know the phone minutes won't last forever.

We are now at my Aunt's house....it is good to be here and we know we are welcomed.
We brought 4 vehicles......didn't have too hard of a time following each other. This was the first time O. and D. had ever driven through Houston. It was probably my 4th. :o
Looks like IKE is still heading for us.
I must admit that I'm feeling a bit puny sometimes.

Praying for you Mrs. Mo. I pray that your home will be spared and that God will be your peace in the midst of the storm.

I'll pray for you. You've been on my mind all day today. May the peace of God dwell in you richly; I don't say that to just pass along a little ditty; I truly pray you will be upheld by the peace that only comes from the Lord Jesus.
I've been praying for you often today. Our WHOLE family has. We have also been watching Fox News and the Weather Channel. Karissa keeps asking me "Where is Freeport?" She is very concerned about Lydia and the rest of your family. We are praying, praying, praying.

Prayers here, too, Mo.
Emma is very concerned for Kim, and for your pets...are they with you? You all are constantly on our minds and in our prayers, as we check the weather updates for new info.

Mobunny's husband here, in Freeport! Daniel and I made the trip back today in order to assess the damage. We have been blessed. The house is completely intact with just a few shingle tabs missing and in one corner over the eve of the house the roofing is gone down to the decking. From 100 miles north of Houston coming down HWY 59 we probably did not see three or four places with power. The whole area of southeast Texas is without power. Most of our town is without power. Imagine our surprise when we walked into the house and found the lights on. We are humbled to think of God's blessings toward us and truly grateful. We were prepared for the worst and more than willing to trust God's judgment in the matter, but we are thankful that we were spared while at the same time moved by the suffering of our dear neighbors to the east in Galveston. Galveston is a beautiful city with a rich and colorful history where Michele and I have spent many memorable days with family and friends. We trust her recovery will be swift and complete.

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
