Ike came to visit over the weekend. We are still recovering.

If you don’t know, Ike is the name of the hurricane that hit the Texas Gulf Coast last Friday/Saturday. It was a high cat 2/low cat 3. It could have been much, much worse. It was bad enough.

We chose to stay through the storm. As scary as it was, I am glad we did. We had almost all our windows boarded and were able to start the clean up process as soon as the weather calmed. It was awesome to see how our neighborhood stuck together. We helped each other prepare, we helped each other clean, and we shared our food. Even tonight at dinner time we carried out what we had left and stood in the street to eat and visit…

There is still much to do for many people in our area. I know it will take time for so many to recover. We have been very blessed. I wish everyone in the area well…
