People really do have big hearts!

I have had the invitation of friends I have made through my professional photography forum to stay with them. Any direction that we would have needed to evacuate, we had offers in the event that lodging wasn't available. I'll probably visit one member of that forum that is in Bossier City. He and his wife sent me the names of 3 boutiques to go shopping for a homecoming dress for Courtney while we're out this direction.

New Orleans officials urged people to open their hearts to their neighbors and fellow church members to offer those people without transportation and means to possibly evacuate with them.

The National Guard is at the Superdome (those that aren't deployed to Iraq) and are helping with security in the dome. The lines waiting to get into the dome are unbelievable but I think they are handling things well. The delay in enterring the dome is security screenings to be sure there is no alcohol being smuggled in as well as weapons. What could be worse than drunk cajuns with guns in an environment that may become hostile after a few days!

I pray for everyone that is in harm's way. I'm just grateful that I was able to leave with my pups and my child to keep them safe. Homes can be replaced, people can't.

BTW - my mom, mother-in-law, one sister, brother-in-law and niece are with us as well.
