Ike has come and gone

Ike has come and gone and the damage done was hit and miss. I've seen quite a few pics of the Lake Charles area. Although it doesn't look as though a bomb hit it, like when Rita passed, there was a lot more flooding with Ike than there was with Rita.

Apparently our house did well and there was no damage. We were fortunate that we didn't lose power. Lake Charles area residents that lost power were sporadic. There were a few people that work with my husband that got water in their homes. One guy got 5 feet of water inside his house.


I'm still at my mom's right outside of Paris, TX. Ike is supposed to be coming this way in the next couple of hours. The weather up to this point hasn't been bad. It's been mild enough for K to play in and we're all hanging outside on the porch right now.

Ike has come and gone and it never got so bad that we weren't able to play in the rain, something I used to love to do as a kid. We took a few pics, but unfortunately they didn't come out good.
