Trails Along The Journey

Sep. 1, 2008

Weekend happenings

I am still having trouble getting my pics up, I will work on that some more today. We had Isaia's bday party yesterday.  We had it at a park in Tacoma.  It was in a covered picnic area, thanfully.  Our August weather has been the least desirable weather .  It was just 60 and very windy.  Jerry had to go to Starbucks and get a container of Coffee to go so we could all warm up.  But it was fun. I made the cutest cake, it was a red barn and then I made cupcakes that were chicks, pigs and horses. I really have to get my pics on.  I love decorating cakes for the kids bday. It is my favorite relaxing time. 

I just talked to my Mom and her and my dad are evacuated to my brother's house.  I turn on the news and all it talks about is New Orleans, that is frustrating to me when there is a whole lot of Louisiana outside of N>O>  Well they say that the eye will be coming over Kinder which is about 30 minutes east of them about 7 tonight so tonight will be when the storm comes through for them.  My sis-n-law and the girs are in Arkansas, My brother is at the Fire station making sure it is ready to help out. SO , I am thankful that the storm has calmed down to a cat 3 or maybe even 2 now.  Although it will still be strong winds and rain.  My prayers are with them and everyone else there.  My friend Mary , I havent talked to in a day or so, but now that the storm is coming closer to them Im figuring she has moved north.  Will catch up again later.

luv Tam

It's interesting that you bring this up that you have family in the path of this storm that live west of NO. I was just telling my husband that I thought the news people were off base when they would say it was good that the storm was heading more west, I mean it's not good for those that live west of NO and then I read this and my point is proven. I pray that your family stay safe and have little to no property damage.
Sounds like you guys have been busy too and I can't believe your summer temps. Have they been consistently that cool? I just can't imagine. Take care and blessings, Julie

Hello! I've missed visiting for awhile. I've been on a summer blogging break. Well, guess what? I am about to hit my 500 blog entry tomorrow... In celebration, I've created a DVD give-a-way on my blog for those who participate in Weblink Wednesday. Come on by and take a look. It might be something you might want to consider entering. Fun stuff!

Have a great week.

Sep. 21, 2008 - How is your family now that Gustav and Ike are over?

Posted by ChristiSinTexas
Thanks for the comment on my blog, (I haven't been blogging lately like I should.)

We are also doing rabbits in 4-H for the first time this year. It is a definate learning experience for all of us.

How did your family weather the storms? I know Gustav did some damage in LA but seemed to weaken fairly quickly. Ike was a nasty storm, but seemed to cause more problems in Texas. I could be wrong though, we had no electricity for 4 days because of Ike so we missed alot of post-hurricane coverage.

I posted an answer to your question in the messages thingy. I hadn't messed with that at all so I didn't really know about it. Thats why it took so long.
