It Is Our Jennie's Birthday Today

She's back and she gave me a thumbs up on the TV installation. I still need to stain the mounting board in the back and build the drawer under the TV set. But other than that all was good to go and I feel great.

I drove to Randy's last night to pick Sherri up and Randy's wife fixed us all dinner. Hey was that ever nice. She made spaghetti and sausage and let me tell you that was the best I have eaten hands down!. Thanks Nena your a great cook. She is also fun to be with. She told us stories and we all laughed until we hurt. After dinner we retired to the den to watch the weather. Looks like hurricane Ike will have a big effect on East Texas this weekend. Sherri and I will head out to Wills Point to stay with our daughter...by the way it is her birthday today...Happy Birthday baby...we love you. She is by herself...Frank, once again was deployed to Galveston...he is a police officer and they recruit additional officers in times of disasters to help out. The last time Frank was gone was on his daughters birthday and now he is gone again and it is his wife's birthday.

My sister lives in Galveston and she and her husband went to Killeen Texas to their daughters house. Their daughter Debbie and Scott live on the military base there. Scott is in Iraq and so they have gone to stay with her until the all clear is sounded. June and Jim just called and told me they were safe and sound. I am so glad that they did not decide to stay.They said they would call me as soon as they could return to Galveston. I told them that if they needed any help in getting things fixed that I would come down and help them. Me being a plumber electrician carpenter type person I could be a hand for them. One storm sure has displaced a lot of people.

OK so Sherri and I will head out of here about 1:00 or so. We will stay with Jennifer until Sunday or until the storm has cleared out. The weather folks have said that East Texas should get some wind and rain for sure. While I am there I hope to get some of the wiring run in my barn for my woodworking equipment. I would like to get our RV plug installed so when we get the culvert in we can hook up and stay a while.

I will not have Internet while we are there so I will post my journal in word and have it ready to up-load Sunday night upon my return home. Which reminds me We need to get all our furniture outside secured before we head out. They say the winds in Dallas will be around 30 to 50 mph. I hope that all is well when we get home. I pray for no tragedies during this storm All our prayers go out to the folks on the coast and all those traveling.

I pray that the winds will die and the rains will subside...the Sky's will clear and we will see a wonderful rainbow Somewhere in Time.
