Gypsy-land

Clay and I are nomadic gypsies. Because...yes, we are STILL WITHOUT POWER. We spend our nights roaming from a/c to a/c. Although 76% of H-town has power, we (of course) are part of the 541,000 homes without. Thanks to friends and Kristi we always have a cool, lit place to stay.

School started back Tuesday, I was glad to get back and see my kids. I was worried about them but luckily none of them lost their homes and most of them only lost power for like 4 hours. (insert Napoleon Dynamite saying "Lucky")

The estimated time frame for electricity is Friday, Sep 26. yep thats almost 2 full weeks. We will wait and see (with lots of praying.) Until then the gentle hum of generators continue to fill our neighborhood along with the smell of pine-scented airfreshners. (So many pine trees fell/cracked/split it still smells so strong)

This is a pic of a street in our neighboorhood. These piles of debri are mild compared to some.

Yikes a tree fell on many of our neighbors homes. (One man even woke up to a branch crashing into his bedroom...it impaled the matress he was sleeping on.)

Centerpoint...were is Centerpoint??
