Still Evacuated

It is day 8 after Hurricane Ike and we still do not have power at our house, so we are still in a hotel in Ft. Worth. They say it should be back up by Monday (day after next) at the latest. We are so ready to go home!!!!!

The good news is that our property sustained somewhat minimal damage. We were very concerned that one of our trees would fall on our house, and that did not happen. We did lose part of our fence, but we can fix that without having to file a claim on our homeowners insurance, so we are grateful for that. The eye of the storm went directly over our house, so we are thankful we did not have much more damage than we did.
