Another Trip to the Zoo

I was off today (recuperating from our trip) and Katie took off early, so we picked up Mattie May and headed to the zoo. It was so nice. The temperature was not hot, the wind was only a breeze and there were not many people there. It was so nice today. Then we stopped by Imagination Park and spent a little time until Mattie May told us she was hungry.

Take a Night off From Cooking!!!!

My bloggy friend Michelle has made me aware of some donations being made by Chili's. Please click here to read about having a night off from cooking on Monday night.

We Saw Elmo!

Saturday, we took Mattie May to see her first live show "Sesame Street Live, Elmo Makes Music". We had a great time. It was about 15 minutes to long for her but she clapped and sang with everyone. Here are the pics.

Fair Scrapbook

It has been a pretty lazy Saturday since we found out that Frank does not have to go down south in the wake of Hurricane Ike (yeah!). Katie had to work (OT Yeah!) but has since made it home. Frank, Katie and Mattie May are all taking naps and it is kind of quite around here. We have promised MM that we would go do something special if she would get her nap so maybe something exciting will happen this afternoon.

In the meantime, I finished my scrapblog about the fair and thought I would share it with you. I tried to give it an Old West feeling. Please let me know what you think.

All is Well

Frank got the call this morning that they will not have to go for storm recovery this weekend. I was glad, even though I didn't see how they weren't needed. There are more than four million people without electricity in the Houston/Galveston area! Seems like they would be wanting as much help as possible! Oh well.

They will find out Monday if they will be needed for station repair and still may have to go. But by then Ike will have been gone from town for quite some time.

Let's keep praying for all those still there, and all the restoration workers and rescuers that have gone in to help.

Um, Excuse Me, but Your Going the Wrong Way!

Unless you have just confined yourself into a hole somewhere, you know that Hurricane Ike is spinning its way towards the Texas Coast, probably making a direct hit to Galveston and Houston. Not only do Frank and I both have family and friends in that area, he is on standby for storm recovery. That means he will be headed south when all others are headed north!

I know we have all put the residents of the coast on our prayer list, but please add all those that will be going in after it hits. This is a huge storm that will effect our entire Gulf Coast region, and that my friends is a lot of coast line!

You know the old saying "EVERYTHINGS BIGGER IN TEXAS" and that includes our storms as well.
