I'm here. All is well.
Ike rumbled through yesterday afternoon, downing power lines and causing general chaos. I had a room full of folks late last night; since I'm on the same street as a nursing home and the police station my power's always the first to come back. We sat tight and listened to the wind and laughed our heads off and talked about the upcoming Freeman House Fall (Masquerade) Ball. (One woman is bringing an unloaded shotgun and dressing up as Sarah Palin. Her husband is coming as a caribou. Yet another couple is coming as Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson. Too much fun.)
Made it through the night and hurried to church this morning to find it cancelled. No power there either and likely won't be for several days.
The power and internet continue to blink off and on so I'm updating via my Blackberry. May be a little scarce this week as things return to normal. Thanks for the prayers and thoughts! -Brin

Glad to hear it.
Great to know that you're okay and that you and your friends had a fun evening. Hope that power is restored to everyone soon!
Glad you're doing well. That Fall Ball sounds like so much fun!
Okay... so another of my Texas friends checks in and is fine... two more to go...I'm so happy that you came through the storm without too much inconvience. The party you're planning sounds like fun.
So glad you are safe!

Happy to know the Lord's hedge of protection surrounds your Freeman House. Be blessed.
Hey Brin! Glad that you are alright. i was praying for you and the Freeman House to be untouched by the storm.
Precious! Only my Brin could bring smiles and fun in such a frightening time! I'm glad to hear you're alright, I pray all is well for others in your community as well.
Hugs & blessings,

That upcoming party sounds like fun.
We once had neighbors over during a power outage...one neighbor looked at me and asked which house was mine...ahem! She was sitting on my sofa!
Too funny!

So happy to hear your alright, was wondering! And little damage too, amen! We got alot of rain and high winds, lost alot of little limbs but others lost old trees, it was something! Your party sounds like you and what fun! I'm planning a fall open house since we moved over the summer and the inside is just about done! Digging out the fall decorating stuff today! :) Stay safe!!
Glad you made it through the storm. will keep in praying.
I'm so glad you are alright! Sounds like you and your friends made the best of it!
Glad to hear your report! Prayer answered!

Oh, I am so thankful that you and Millie are safe and you were both surrounded by friends during the storm. My power just now came on after 28 hours off when Ike hit NE Ohio yesterday. No rain just wind and it was really unbelievable. We had huge tree branches all over our yard and on our deck. I cannot even imagine what it must have been like for you in Texas.
Glad to hear your safe and sound in Freeman House. Your upcoming Masquerade Ball sounds like a hoot! I sure hope you share pics.
Ike left it's mark with us here in Houston. Because I'm on the grid with the Medical Center, I was able to post updates on my blog pretty much throughout. The city is a terrible mess, but we're far better off than Galveston -- and Chrytsal beach and Bolsivar -- which have essentially been wiped off the face of the earth. Double click on my name to read more -- or if anyone has relatives here in Houston it might be of interest.

Glad you're safe up there and doing good things for others. Amazing that serenitymeadow had power out al the way in Ohio!
Hi Brin. I haven't visited here in a while, but I thought about you over the weekend as Ike blew through Texas. I'm glad you weathered the storm, and sounds like you had a good time doing it. Your masquerade party sounds like a blast! Take care!
Hello!
My mom showed me your blog about a month ago, and I was so excited to see your beautiful home & enjoyed reading your delightful posts. It's a joy to visit your blog, & I'm praying for you. :)
