Well, the news is interesting. Ike appears to be headed to make landfall just south of us, and may pass directly over Ft. Bend County where I live. Mom is busy at home watching the weather reports, which are basically asking us to shelter in - or "hunker down". The storm is projected to hit overnight Friday and be passed through by Saturday evening. Any damage will come from wind, not from flooding.
Mom's neurology appointment scheduled for tomorrow is now rescheduled and work is canceled for me - they are sending us home at 3 pm. Nothing about this summer will seem typical - glad that my mommy's with me through this one, though!
Alissa was scheduled to come in this weekend, but Southwest has canceled her flight. That stinks, because mom and I were both looking forward to her arrival.

Well, you know it's a Julia kind of thing when blog captions about her progress include "Gustav" and "Ike." We've been watching the weather with great concern. Hope all goes well when this particular hurricane hits.
We'll set up some bridge when you get back, Jules
love to you
Julia, nothing can keep you down, not even a hurricane! Stay safe, all of you .....
and Julia .... sign me up for dinner, scrabble, gin rummy, gossip and/or any of the above, as soon as possible after you return. I'll be in Minn. from 9/27-10/2. Hope to see you very soon after that. With all my love, Maryellen
My mother grew up in Galveston, hence hurricanes always put my mother on high alert. Please keep us updated on your situation. I have every confidence you all will weather this storm along with all of the others you have already weathered. Lots of love, Alice
Julia,
We will be thinking of you and the family over the next twenty-four hours. I am in New York, flying back this evening. Stay safe.
We are still in the midst of the harvest and there are goodies waiting for you on your return. Let's try to get you up to Geyseville before the snow flies.
John
