Well, God showed us mercy, and we are, as always, grateful to Him. Ike passed to our east---just barely. As a result,
we had lots of wind and rain, but no real damage. Just some tree litter. Frankly, most of the debris are old dead limbs
that needed to come down anyway. Of course, the rain was a blessing.
Thank you, God, for sparing our lives as well as maintaining our comfort by sparing our property. Our prayers are
with those less fortunate than us.
