It is 100 degrees in the shade here today. Super. People streaming back into town and everyone trying to get back to daily routines. The businesses are starting to open back up and gas supplies are replenishing. Life is good.
I read the most wonderful article in the Sunday paper yesterday about a man and his wife who have a ranch that is now devoted to the wild horse rescue program. He is hoping to donate a wild mustang, now quite gentle, to President Bush. It is a beautiful animal. His wife works in the city and goes to the ranch each weekend. He stays on the ranch as the primary caregiver and his love of horses could be felt even when spoken in ink. What a man.
Last night about 7:00pm the cable went out throughout the city. Didn't come back on until 10:30 so no Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, West Wing, etc for their season premieres. Bummer. Disappointed but refusing to sweat the small stuff. This week, anyway.
Son will have one more day off of school tomorrow. Then back to the books. Tonight there is an abbreviated acting class - instead of 2 hours it will be only 1 hour. Yes, I am insisting he go. Routine keeps us sane.

OMG it was so hot here today. Hard to believe that it is almost October. We did a "pot luck" dinner last night and Sheri was on the ball and pulled out the ole mini TV so we watched Desperate Housewives. Thanks for visiting our Blog, we'll have to keep up with our fellow Houstonian now.
I am so glad things worked out well for you. I'm playing catch-up with the blogs and such and forgot you were in Houston! Yikes!
In the long run, looking at the situation, you are lucky you didn't try that horrid evacuation. I think Texas did it as best they could, but the roads just couldn't handle all ya'll big hatted texans! :) It looked miserable out there.
Very glad the damage was minimal to you, but my heart just goes out to all those little towns that aren't there anymore. The devestation and animal lives lost, never mind people still in shock from Katrina.
I hear there's spots that won't have electricity for a month!
Take care of yourself!
Ah-hem. I think the Dew could use a good Texas story.... don't you?
