from North Louisiana

We are really blessed to be, once again, moved in with my mother and Mr. Billy. We arrived early afternoon yesterday. The trip was incredibly difficult for Gary, but he looks and feels better today. Jennifer, Isabella, and Jennifer's mom are here. Rachel and her family are headed to Vallie's and Terry's. The fact that Mark and Jeremy have remained in harm's way is a bit unnerving, but they've chosen to serve. For any that might not know, Mark is in the Guard and has been sent over to St. Martinsville. Jeremy is a deputy sheriff in Jefferson Parish. He's working twelve hour shifts to keep Metairie secure. They continue to be my heroes!

Niece Tara who chose to stay in Baton Rouge: Be Safe and I hope you can appreciate life without electricity! Hopefully that will be the worst that it gets.

I believe that everything is secure. The dogs are all with us, somewhat subdued being on chains, but dry and safe! The only thing to do now is wait, watch, and claim God's promise that He will not dish out more than we can take. So, once again, we wait.

Glad you are enjoying Ottie's cooking and Billy's produce. We are alive and well in Central VA. Spent the weekend painting the outside of Amanda's and Noah's new house (just the priming and 1st coat until the contractor is through). Griffin, Amanda and Furl are snotty nosed-we will kiss Griffin but not Furl-don't won't to catch a cold! Noah turned 32 Monday-old man. Amy and Jesse are doing fine. Jesse had to start teaching on Tuesday-poor fellow. My dad is unchanged and okay. Ya'll have been in our thoughts and hearts with all the weather and upheaval (even some prayers.) It was so bad, I had to sit on the porch and drink a glass of wine to you Gary. Wish you were here. Here's to hoping the BMT will be soon. Hang in there, Robbi, it will get better. Love Debby
