Our Gustav Evacuation

We are an evacuation hot spot!!! Gustav is impacting my life!!! This is a replay of our Rita hot spot....

  • Mom & Dad are in the library.
  • Aunt Karen, Jenny, Nicole 6 & Austin 6m are in Lovebug's room with Pooky their dog...
  • Uncle Eric is in Ladybugs room.
  • Ladybug & Lovebug are in my room... camping out!!!

Friday we were thrilled to get an early leave to visit Mom & Dad in Beaumont... as we got within an hour of Beaumont, we started seeing the flood of people and RVs heading north, as we made good time south.



Friday night we became very aware of hurricane Gustav.... and Saturday the mandatory evacuation was called for Sunday morning..... The girls did not want to leave... and Daddy pulled from our Proverbs daily chapter....

  • Proverbs 27:12 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.

Yikes!!!! Oh... we have to head out... We headed out north on 96 and it was a wonderful drive... with a lousy ONE HOUR wait for a stop light in Center!!! Horrible!! No kidding... we waited an hour for that light!!!!

We beat the family by a couple hours... and we've done a fruit box turnover!!!! All of the stuff sitting around has "vanished." We've moved lots of things into the garage....

We surprising have 3 tvs up and ready!!! The PC.... our tv has moved into the living area... and mom & dad have one in their room. They were thrilled to find we now have cable & can actually get some news!!! This is truly an upgrade since Rita.

Blueberry muffins are made!!
Hubbie & I are planning to hit 2nd service.
We must hit a grocery... and soon....


Knowing He hold us in his hands!!!
Grace!! ss
