Nothing new going on here

Still hotter than hades and dry as a bone. We are heading down to the beach tomorrow. This will be the first time I have seen Galveston since hurricane Ike. I am worried. They are recovering but they just recently began the job of cutting down the massive oak trees all along the main boulevard that died after Ike. Several of the piers are gone. Many, many shops are gone. And a lot of the beach is gone. Washed out to sea. It's so sad, but also encouraging. The resiliency of the human race is amazing. 

Other than that, it's the same old, same old. Laundry, cleaning, work, kids, and many many messes. The girls are with their dad, heading out on vacation soon. School starts in just over a month. 

I promise beach pix and a better update soon!
