I can't believe it is happening again. It's like a bad dream. This time we

didn't evacuate. When hurricane Frances came through, I took the 3 kids and

3 cats and drove 13 1/2 hours to an area just north of Atlanta, GA. It

doesn't normally take more than 8 hours to make the trip, but the traffic

was unbelievable! That was only 3 weeks ago and I'm not ready to leave DH

again. We are going to stick it out here despite our failed efforts to get a

generator. They aren't available anywhere. The house is all boarded up again

and we're stocked up on canned foods and such. We have plenty of

flashlights, batteries and candles. The scary part is - we're starting to

get good at this...

First of all, Happy Birthday!! I live in Central Florida also and just came

back from Marietta, GA on Sept. 15th. I remember the drive to GA, it took

about 14-15 hours to get where I was going. It was me and 4 cats, they did

not appreciate it, but we all made it there and back. The thing that gets me

is the gas prices from Ga to FL, so much higher here. It was bumper to

bumper and once I got to I75, it didn't get a whole lot better. I am getting

tired of this and it looks like we are going to hang in there too. Yes, we

all

are getting good at this and I don't want to. LOL We are stocked up on

water, made some ice and ice chunks. Canned goods are here and have sterno to

cook in the fire place. Camping, such fun. The cost in batteries are

amazing. At least finding gas was not a major ordeal. We called the police

dept

and asked them. They directed us on where to go. Well, I am praying for the

best for everyone out here. You are all in my thoughts. Take care and be

safe!

My VistaPrint Electronic Business CardWell, my family is throwing me a small

party for my birthday and someone we didn't invite is coming. Her name is Jeanne

...... Hurricane Jeanne.

When my husband asked what he could get me for my birthday, I told him a

generator. LOL

SoapSupplies.net and FastBuys.net will be closed until our power is restored.

I'm setting all of my groups to 'Special Notices'. Please pray for those in the

path of hurricane Jeanne and those that are suffering in Haiti.
