Power Restored

Kathlena is glad that power is restored because
generators are loud and hurt your ears!

Many are still without power and you can see why from this
picture.

PTL we have our full power restored to the house and by some miracle we actually have internet too! Hats off to ENTERGY for their quick repairs. I missed my photo op of J.Michael and Andrew sitting at the end of the driveway as the convoy of Entergy trucks were leaving our subdivision. At the time we only thought that they were surveying the damage but they were in fact repairing it. Our neighbor across the street came over to tell us he had power and see if we did. At this point we were still running the generator so David switched it over to find that we indeed did have power and we were so excited!!! It seems slowly we are getting back to normal. Our friends the Hoods are bringing us more fresh supplies of fruit, veggies, and perishables today which are huge luxury items in these parts right now. Thank you sweet Hood family for caring for us during this time.

We are so grateful to the Lord for His mercy during this time as many are returning to nothing but slabs/piers...total loss. We are just now getting a newspaper and able to see some of the pictures from downtown Houston and Galveston. It seems unbelievable. Our favorite beach house we like to visit and had planned to go to in Oct. we are afraid is not even standing. We are so disappointed for the owners and for Andrew and Kathlena as we had hoped to take them to this place that they had only seen pictures of in their photo albums from us. David found some pictures from the beach house that a man who is a Volunteer Fireman is taking of damaged areas in Galveston for homeowners who are still not allowed back in the area to see what is left. Here are the picks from Treasure Island where we stayed at Tuck's Landing...it is still standing and appears to be in good shape!! We may get to go on that beach trip after all...We'll see.

David is working on his post on How to hook up your generator to power the house. Complete with pictures too! Here are a few more pictures from our fun "vacation" this past week.


Kathlena plotting to take Chase's bone...nothing left to do
but harass the dog.

Kathlena caught in the act...Chase gives it up quite
easily.

Chase say "Cheese" Poor Chase he is glad for power to be
restored so he can get back to his less entertaining lifestyle.

Okay guys everybody off I am not a horse!

Okay maybe I am but I am not posing for this
embarrassing picture and I am going on record
that dogs should not be ridden like ponies!
Thank you Emily for capturing all of these sweet moments
for us while we were keeping the camp running! You are a
huge blessing to your family.
