This has been an interesting weekend since we live about 4 1/2 hours from Galveston and about 5 hours from Houston, TX. It was not quite as bad as expected here as far as the wind but it certainly was bad enough. We had plenty of rain starting on Fri and then on Sat. Hunter and I took at drive around town yesterday during the whole Hurricane Ike moving through. We took some picts and a few of them I have posted above. These pictures were all taken within minutes of each other but the clouds seem to look so different. Not to mention, the clouds were moving faster than I think I have ever seen. In their own way, they were quite pretty as they rumbled along the skyline. Then we took a ride to other parts of town this morning and saw lots for down trees, uprooted trees, and limbs everywhere. The gas stations were backed up and people were filling up anything from a litte gas can to a 50 gallon drum with gas. No school here tomorrow in our itty bitty town -we are under a boil ban for the water and supposedly that is the reason for school being out.
OK, enough of that. I managed to get quite a few things accomplished this weekend. Here, just let me bore you with the details:
washed laundry (not all of it of course)

Hope all of you had a great weekend. I only hope I can get my readership back where it was soon (and even then it was pretty small) and maybe I can get it to grow even more! So, come on leave me those comments and I will respond to ya!
