-House is in same condition as we left it. A little stuffy.
-We have power.
-Have no food in the house.
-Maple Leaf Open
-Johnny Sketch rocked the place last night
-Keeping an eye on Ike.

We are going to make the trek home either on Friday or Saturday. Waiting for the first wave of people to dissipate a bit. I mean there is a strong possibility we don't have power (although the Maple Leaf and Rue does). As much as I want to go home, sitting in traffic doesn't sound like my idea of fun at all. Especially to do all that waiting for the possibility of no AC, not many grocery stores, and what not. I don't have to be back to work until Monday so I might as well keep enjoying my time here in Hickory Creek, TX and hope that Ike or Josephine doesn't push me back here in a few weeks!

Made it to Hickory Creek Texas yesterday morning. It was a looooong drive. However we weren't stuck in traffic. We took a lot of back highways and while it did take us 12 hours, at least we weren't sitting on the freeway. It could have potentially taken us a lot longer.

Slept for about 2 hours yesterday morning and then got up and started watching the progress of Gustav. Been sleeping in short spurts since then.

Everyone went to breakfast, I didn't want to leave the house. Watching CNN on the TV and then have 4 local stations streaming from one website watching...we are far from taking a BIG sigh of relief. Almost afraid to take it just yet because we did that with Katrina...then the breeches happened. So a small one for now. A few friends are in my neighborhood right now, hopefully when it all calms down weather wise one of them will be able to go and check on my house.
