Hey Becky!!! I am here now. I have been busy. Got off work at 5pm, picked up my kids, went to the grocery store, then by Taco Bell for supper, and then came home and ate supper, did homework and fixing to get the kids in bed. I am beat. I still gotta put my laundry away. Frank washes the clothes and he will put away his and then leave mine in the clothes basket and puts the kid's clothes on their beds. Anyway, I better get some more work done. Oh, by the way, my business cards came in today!! yeah!!!! Love ya, Linda

Hey Gisela, thanks for posting! Yeah, I was watching the news and saw the hotel that we stayed in at the corner of Canal and Bourbon with water up to the door. Canal St. really is a canal now! Have a good evening at work...take care! Becky

Hi Becky, I'm alive and kicking. Still suffering after effects from Katrina. Lots of wind and rain. But we still have power. I've just spent the last hour watching the news and I just can't believe the total devastation to the gulf coast of mississippi and new orleans. I used to live close to N.O. in a city called Houma. Haven't seen much on the news about it, but I've spent many, many days in Biloxi and N.O. and seeing my familiar haunts gone just hurts. And the human lives that have been lost. It's just staggering to think about it. I'm 33 and have seen my share of hurricanes. I'm glad I live an hour from the coast, but I probably would have lost everything too, had Katrina hit the panama city area. I heard someone say the other day that their house was 100 years old and they didn't think a hurricane could bother it. Hope she's watching the news, because homes that made it through Camille in '69 didn't make it the other day. Gone, completely. Well, I'm on my way back to bed so I can go in to work tonight. Just wanted to answer you and let you know I'm here. I sure wish someone would post about Joni, Jacquee and Sandy. They are on my mind, too. Happy Tuesday and good luck on school opening up. Gisela

Hi Kim! We made it through without a hitch. Minimal rain and it's beautiful here now! 82 degrees and sunshine! We had some wind gusts but nothing too bad at all! My ashtray stayed put on the outside table all day and night! Gail

Has anybody talked to Joni? I don't have any numbers for her. If anybody talks to her, tell her to give me a call! Thanks Kim
