Gustav Preparation Update

We will be leaving tomorrow morning instead of today, because manly wisdom has decided that the traffic will not be as bad tomorrow. That will still give us more than enough time to get out of the way of the storm. We will have my two grandchildren with us, because both parents are staying here in Thibodaux. The disaster manager told Grandpère that Sunday was soon enough, and my son concurs, so that's how it is to be.

    As Fran said -- so many prayers for so many people -- and you have a special place in those prayers

    Me, too, grandmere. (And I hope the "manly decider" knows his way to Baton Rouge, because we all know he won't stop for directions if he doesn't.) :)
    (Hope a little gentle humor is ok.)

    Godspeed, Mimi to you and yours and your neighbors, and the guys down the street...You get my drift.
    Prayers for all.

    Prayers and good thoughts for an easy time of it. I can't say I agree with the traffic theory, however.

    An Old Irish Blessing
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind always be at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face,
    and rains fall soft upon your fields.
    And until we meet again,
    May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

    Manly wisdom? Feh.

    We take a back road that we have traveled many times, so getting lost won't be one of our problems. We will not join the throng on I-10.

    Keep the prayers and love coming our way.

    SR, I love that prayer. The Celts know how to do it.
