My husband’s company closed its campus today and tomorrow to give employees a chance to prepare their homes for hurricane Ike. We’ve been scuttling around taping windows, moving flower pots to the garage, packing clothing, and herding Goldens to get ready to leave for my parents’ home. They live about forty-five minutes north of us and have a generator and a pantry to end all pantries. This is good because we have about four batteries, two tiny flashlights, only a walkman-style radio, and one can of salmon in our own home. Sheesh. I need to take hurricane season more seriously in the future.

Allyson,
You will have to tell me sometime where you parents live. We live 50+ miles North and a little West of Katy.
Take care and have a safe drive……
haha, i’m glad i’m not the only one who wasn’t hurricane-prepared. at least i had a full tank to travel up north to stay with my folks too, dear. love you (call me when our minutes our free…i’m just studying away).
<3
Thanks, Marjorie! I think we’ll be safe here. I am a bit worried about our windows at home, though. The biggest ones face north. Eek.
Susan, I was wondering about you. I’m glad to hear you’re staying up here too. Was it a mandatory evacuation?
You could always stock up on oh-so-nutritious MREs.
Oh yum. I wonder if gluten-free MREs even exist. Now I’m curious. I’m going to go look it up!
Wow. A quick Google search revealed that gluten-free MREs *do* exist. Kosher ones too. Crazy. I still won’t be buying any, though. I have bad memories of them from Civil Air Patrol. “Eat the peanut butter and the jelly in equal amounts,” more experienced cadets cautioned. Ugh.
