The Calm before the Storm: Rita Approaches

It's Friday morning and there is still stuff to do. But lot's has been done already.

Thnigs to do: Load the van and move it to a parking lot away from all the trees. Pick up a percolator to make coffee with from Deborah Vaughn, an angel.

Things we have done: Moved in all the plants. Laundered clothes and dishes. Filled every receptacle we have with clean water. Picked up yard again for more loose stuff. Went to Kingwwod Bagel to get something nice for breakfast. Props to KW Bagel for being open when no one else is. There was a 1/2 dozen limit but that's OK. They rock.

My Sister and her family made it College Station last night so that's all good. My daughter Sarah is in Denton, TX and should be fine. My Daughter Michelle is in Conroe with her dad so that's all good too.

The wind is starting to pick up a bit. We will have hours before the storm. It makes a nice reminder though that time is passing and the storm is driving in.

We are all good here. We expect to stay good.

If you need to contact us during the storm, you can try to text page my phone. We learned in Katrina that text pages go through when voice calls fail. 832.372.2390.
