We got home not long ago. Tried to go around houston because I panic with that traffic, and I got lost doing it! Made a bunch of stops so maybe the dogs wouldn't get sick and I believe it helped a lot..Now to my house. Wasn't as bad as it could have been. The porch swing is shredded, lost a couple of pillars that hold the porch roof up. My dad had said part of the eaves were hanging but I can't tell in the dark. All of the windows are fine! I've been scrubbing mold from the fridge and kithchen and bathroom. Could have been a lot worse.

The babies were so glad to be home. The mosquitos are awful, they are in swarms and I swear they dive bomb. Kinda worried about the dogs going out to do their business. Stopped on the way in and Walmart is bare, going to try the next town over for groceries tomorrow. House smells gross but I'm working on it. Waiting for the ac to cool the place.

I will never forget my friends and the way you came to us in our time of need. God Bless you all.

PS..There were actually fema trucks all over as we came in, even as it was getting dark..even fema buses set up to help with paperwork. I thought I was dreaming. God really does meet your need. They are offering hot meals, water, and ice. So we're fixed up for tonight and will go shopping tomorrow.
