Hello dear friends, I have good news...Mark and Sheila's house weathered the storm just fine.  Only minor damage.  Thank you for all who prayed. Those prayers were definitely answered.

For the record, I just got schooled playing cards with my family.  I don't understand how I can lose a game I've been playing since I was 10 by 400+ points.  Yes, sometimes I win, but today was not one of those times.  :)

I'm having a lovely weekend with my family.  Spring Hill won last night (whoo hoo!).  Then the electricity went out for about 6 hours today so we played cards and hung out.  It's been great.
