ETA 2022: Whatever the code was for this button has been tampered with and the link no longer works. So I replaced it with this one.
We have power and Internet access at The Compound. Millions in Houston and the surrounding area do not. I hear Ike has caused power outages in many places on his path north. We are so grateful that everyone here is well–that includes Tom, Tim, me, the Compound Dogs, visiting Mark G. Harris, and Rhonda, Lindsey, and Sugar, who are hunkered down* with us as their power is still out.
Will post later with details and photos, as I’m sure Tim and The Brides will, as well. I know some of our LJ friends are not as fortunate as us right now, and I’m sending all good thoughts your way–which I know from my messages and e-mail everyone is doing for our part of the Gulf Coast.
*Favorite newscast before the power went out on us: Reporters encouraged their viewers to e-mail their web site with variations/synonyms on the phrase “hunker down,” most overused words in the news over the past week.
*heaves big sigh of relief*
Good to know you’re all well there – thanks for posting!!
Thanks for checking in. It means a lot to know people are concerned about us.
I’m glad you were able to post, and that you and yours are all intact.
Now I’m off to peruse the fruits of your sewing-spree!
Thanks, Amanda. I have a lot of LJ catching up to do.
Glad to hear all is well. Here in Illinois we had massive flooding as well. I’m about forty miles south of Chicago and my farm house was surrounded by water on all the country roads Sunday. I couldn’t even get out to go to work.
We didn’t loose power as many did in the city, but we didn’t have phone service. I swear my phone service is out everytime it rains.
Yay! Happy dances all around! I hope everyone else recovers soon as well.
Yes, I lost track of the world for a couple of days. No power outages, just time outages.
