So sorry that this update comes so late. I finally got a hold of my daughter's in laws about 5:00pm this evening on their cell phone. The call lasted maybe one minute.... but that minute was priceless... I heard that my family is okay!!!!

I don't want to show to much excitement as I know there are many deaths report from Katrina and I continue to feel pain for those families.
I don't know if their home is there or not all I know is that they survived. We can rebuild a home but we can't replace a life. I have lost my internet service due to the storm right after the post, so I haven't been able to reply until now. I can tell you that it was a very long night and day waiting, calling and calling and calling until I had the one precious moment of hearing my family is okay. I want to thank all of you for all your incouraging words and prayers.... I am going to continue to try and contact my family to see if they need us to go and get them. I will keep you all posted if I can get through via telephone or if we decide to see if we can make it through the destruction and get them. Again thank you for all your prayers and support....

Lots of hugs and prayers to your and yours!

I know recovery will take some time, so is there anything that those of us in safe dry areas can do to help you out down there? Make calls, send emails, (send CC products or doggie treats) any thing??? I keep hearing donations are the best thing to do, but please let us know what our YT friends and their babies might need...

Sherry Lynn, Thank you so much for your support. Here in Alabama, where I am at we have very little storm damage, considering what those at the coast are having to go through. I think our biggest problem is electricity for most... If we do travel down to my daughter's I will see if there is something we can do. Probably once the phone lines are back up we can find out more.
