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!

You need to come here for a vacation!!! It is only 90 degrees here - argh, and the beaches are sparkling! But, a baja shelf in our pool and a good drink make the afternoons very tolerable! Don't melt, November is almost here...
Love You!!

Heck - it barely hit 70 today in my neck o'the woods!

We had an ice storm 3 years ago in October that was catastrophic for people. In October!! We're still replacing trees and rebuilding from the power loss... I can't imagine what a place as beautiful as Galveston must have gone through!
