Hurricane Ike

Here in Texas one of the big news stories is Hurricane Ike. We have been watching it closely because our son and pregnant daughter in law live in League City which is 30 miles from Galveston. Schools have closed and NASA is closing at noon so everyone is taking this seriously. Since they live so close to Galveston Bay they will be evacuating tomorrow. That means that the two of them plus their hyperactive dog will be visiting with us this weekend. It is an unexpected pleasure.
