Another delay for me....

Sorry for such a delay. If you've read Anna's blog....you have seen that a week ago today she went to be with the Lord. I just really can't imagine what that family is going through. Continue to pray for them....when all the family has gone back home, their older daughter is back at school, and the mom is at home by herself, I'm sure the quiet will get to her. The Lord alone will have to see her through this unbelieveably difficult time.

Since my post last week, we have certainly had an adventure. We headed down to see the opening game for LSU. It was so stinkin hot we couldn't stay past half time. We thought since the game had been moved up to 10 am it would help...but it only re positioned the sun to be square in our faces. We did have a great time with the couple we went with, so it wasn't all lost by any means. We headed out on Saturday afternoon only to be faced with bumper to bumper to bumper traffic of people trying to evacuate due to Gustav. We really thought we had planned for plenty of time, and were a little surprised to get stuck...but it didn't last long at all..thankfully. We did stop at one gas station to fill up the tank, only to be told they were out of gas. Scary thought. We did make it home safe and sound and were so thankful we went. On Labor Day, Gustav came ashore, and crushed my Dad's house. We had known it was going to be worse than Katrina for them in Baton Rouge, but we really never imagined it would be as bad as it was. Daddy said it looks very much like where Katrina hit in New Orleans in spots in Baton Rouge....if that makes any sense. By the time Gustav got here, the wind wasn't too bad, but it drenched us. My store flooded Tuesday and Wednesday. Thankfully, my floors are concrete and most of my merchandise is on racks...so we just had to get some shop vacs in there. My kids school has been cancelled all week...so that has been interesting. They think since they are on a surprise "vacation", then we should be doing something fun every single day. HUH??!! So, we are trying to take advantage of a more leisurely schedule, as we prepare for them to be off again next week.

That is the run down for us. We are enjoying an evening at home tonight with just Chandler. The little one's are all at friend's, and my friend asked for Jillian for the evening. And of course, I would never, ever want to hurt my friend's feelings....lol!! Hope all is well out there for everyone! Blessings!
