Annabeth Pictures

These were taken at our house the day Laura and Annabeth spent with us after Hurricane Ike. She is so precious!

After the Storm

Thank God, Ike didn't do too much damage here in Shreveport. The worst thing was being without electricity but even that had it's positive side. You can talk to each other better if the tv is off and candle light is kind of nice unless you're trying to read or put on your makeup. And at least the weather was a lot cooler, so you could raise the windows and stay pleasantly cool. The best part, since Pam and David's power was still off Laura brought Annabeth over Monday and spent the day with us. She got caught up on her laundry and we got caught up on hers and Brent's lives. And Annabeth was the most perfect baby you could ever imagine. She smiled constantly! We took her to The Glen Nursing home to visit an elderly friend of ours and everyone who saw her just had to touch her or hold her. One lady kissed her tiny feet. She gave everyone lots of smiles and of course they all told us how beautiful she is. We had a great day and Harry and I enjoyed it so much. We're going to miss Laura and Brent when they move to Texas soon.

I DONT' Like Ike!

Well, Gustav gusted and brougnt down a lot of tree limbs in the yard and now Ike is headed our way! We have been praying for the safety of all those in it's path, especially our friends and relatives in Texas. Harry's sister Linda came from Baton Rouge Sunday and stayed with us until Tuesday because she still didn't have electricity at her house. She had fence damage due to a fallen tree and had an electric line down in her yard. When she got back home, they had just repaired her neighborhood.
We went to Crystal's house last Saturday for Josh and Lane's birthday party. We really enjoyed our visit and got lots of hugs and kisses from the kids.
I've been very busy this week and last selling and delivering the Altrusa Calendars. We have just about all of them sold!!! What a relief that is!
Stay safe everyone and let us hear from you.
