One Week Later...

Well, Ike came and went. He wasn't very nice to the Houston/Galveston area. There are thousands of appalling pictures all over the internet, but here are some from my neighborhood...the same area as the "before" pictures below.































Power went out at Kris's house at 9:00pm, before the storm even hit. So, needless to say, Saturday was a humid, hot, sticky day. But, we are blessed! God protected us. There are SO many who are less fortunate, still suffering.

We "set up camp" in the front driveway of Kris's house....along with the all the other neighbors. It was actually kind of fun....for awhile. We eventually went to Austin to enjoy some air conditioning at our friends, Dave & Bev's, house.















We had quite a system. The dogs hung out in the back of Kris's Trailblazer. The neighbors let us borrow a little TV that we hooked up to the car battery. When it was not raining, we were outside. When it did rain, we turned the car and sat in the garage.
