I think I slept through the worst of Ike. He made direct hit on Houston. I think all of you may know more about the damages than I do. Have not seen TV in days... My house is fine, no trees down or blown off shingles. I live between two houses that have second stories and think that may have helped me, but, they had no roof damages either. A house on the block over that I can see through the yards has lots of roof damage. Did loose the fences on the east and west side. I can never understand a hurricane, why not the north side too?

Was without phone for several days, but had my cell phone. Then no water for several days, but fared okay. The worst thing is doing without refrigeration. WE had plenty of food and ate quite well - had icechests and they kept our food well.

My sons were a bit "miffed" with me to say the least. ONe is still a bit huffy. Ha!! When I am ninety, I will go to one of their houses. Ha!!

All in all - God was good. Thanks for all the prayers, thoughtts.
