Welcome back Jen---what an ordeal you guys have been through. It's great to know you're all safe and sound, and that your home is in one piece too. Hope little Ewok is doing okay. Good to have you back! Kerry PS: d'you literally mean you dodged a bullet or is that a "dumb Brit" Q?!

Physically, anyway, mentally, I'm still having a hard time "recovering" from the nightmare of the evacuation! :( It took us over 55 hours to get from Houston to Little Rock!! Our evacuation route was bumper to bumper for about 50 of those hours...we spent a couple of nights on the side of the road and, I'm not sure if it made the local news in areas other than Texas, but we were one of those thousands of people stranded on the side of the road because we ran out of gas! Thanks to a good samaritan, we were able to make our way to Little Rock on Saturday staying just ahead of the hurricane the entire way! We literally could only sleep for an hour or so Friday night (we were still in Texas at this point with no room at any hotel or shelter until we got into Arkansas) because as the hurricane approached, it brought tornados. But we finally made it to Arkansas early Saturday with animals in tow...Everyone did great despite having to be confined to a car for two days! Little Rock was wonderful, everyone was very kind and helpful...we even managed to make it to the river front area the day before we returned to Texas for a much needed beer (or two) at an English pub called "The Underground." :) Anyhoo, unfortunately, I had to take Ewok to his oncologist appointment this morning...more car trauma!! The poor guy, just got out of the damn car and here I am sticking him back in it for a half-hour car ride to his doctor's appointment! We're all very much looking forward to this weekend! We dodged a bullet and only lost a few tree limbs in the storm (only 1/4" of rain!!)...it's sad to think that we would have been safer staying in our own home during the storm!! Hope this all makes sense! My brain is still all over the place (I'm absolutely exhausted)...thank you all for your positive thoughts...I have yet to read though the list email, but I know there have been a couple of losses (Julie and Nina??)...I believe I saw something about Grace... :( Take care, all...
