Checking in again

[dreamflower]

I know a lot of you are worried about us, so I just thought I'd let you know we're still here, still have power/cable, and still waiting for the worst. The feeder bands have moved in, and we're getting rain, but not yet a heavy downpour. The wind is up--you can hear it in the trees, but it's not even gale force yet.

I'm quite a bit worried about my sister-in-law. She lives west of here in Bay St. Louis, and is not all that far off the water. She refused to come on over here. (Kind of the same reason--she didn't want to have to bring her cat.) Her house is only 11 feet above sea level. So now I'm really worried about her *and* the hubby. He called a while back, though, and is still OK.

I will probably take a little break from the computer, and then, if we still have power, check in again in about an hour or so.

I really appreciate all you guys so much.

One thing: I've been emailing marigoldg and haven't heard back from her yet, so I don't know if she knows that I have her mom, and that her mom's OK. If anyone in the UK knows how to get in touch and let her know we're all right so far, it would be appreciated.

I'm just glued to the TV! I keep switching channels to see the latest info on the storm. Thank you for checking in, and I hope you can all get a least a little sleep tonight.

*hugs*

We barely have a stitch of wind here right now! How odd. It's been raining on and off with only one minute downpour so far. I'll be praying for your sister-in-law too!

I'm thinking about all of you, Nina! *hugs and love*

I hope it goes well for you. The news reports look scary!

Glad you updated and that you're ok still. I was relieved to hear news. I also see that there is a post from Nina and so I am hoping that everyone is going to be just fine. It's amazing that you still have power. Thanks for the update! Still keeping you all in my thoughts.

oops, that was me, just now, that said "still praying here and will keep it up" but forgot to sign in.

*hugs*

I wonder if Marigold is busy with that convention they were at with KM and KP and hasn't heard the hurricane news yet?

[dreamflower]

I figure between that and working nights, she probably hasn't.

P.S. just read a comment of Marigold's that said she was just checking her email and understood her mom was at your house, in case you hadn't heard from her yet.

[dreamflower]

Thanks. Hopefully she'll check in soon, but as long as she knows where her mom is.
