Catching Up...

Since my last poost, we have

1. Journeyed to Maine and back


  • beautiful scenery
  • adventurous hiking
  • delicious seafood
  • wild blueberries
  • Martha Stewart sighting
2. Survived Hurricane Ike



  • the most horrendous winds I have ever seen/heard
  • power outages
  • flooding
  • trees down everywhere
  • "PODs" = "Points of Distribution" becoming a key word
  • new meaning to waiting in a "long line" for gas (Nate waited in line for almost 2 hours one morning)
  • grocery stores with empty produce sections, scarcity of bread, milk, and other frozen or refrigerated items (I was really craving bananas and milk for several days and could find it no where)
Thankfully we only had a brief power outage and no damage to our property. Please pray for the many others who are still without power and who are facing substantial damage.

I still wonder how they got that palm tree to stand up. It doesn't make sense that two stones can appropriately support a big tree. Each time we pass underneath, it'd probably be prudent to pour out a libation in supplication to the tree gods.
