The plan for today

It was posted last night on the khou.com updates that our zip code can return.  There is still no electricity as far as we know and we've heard that it could come back as soon as Thursday or as late as 4 weeks from now.  That narrows it down doesn't it.

So, C, PC and LW are headed back to Houston today.  They are hoping to find a generator here in the area, pick up some groceries and supplies/gas this morning to take with them.  They will head back about mid-day so they can start clean up at our houses, help out the neighbors and help out wherever else there is need.  TR and I will stay in Austin with the kids since we are comfy here.  We don't want to head back until there is power or at least until it isn't such a scramble for people to get food, ice and gas.  No need to put the kids into that situation if we don't have to.   

ZCM and CM were at our houses yesterday and cleaned out the fridges for us before things started to rot.  Thank you so much Z & C!!  No major damage at any of our places and things look fine.  Z & C's place in Galveston may be badly damaged though but they won't know for sure until they see it for themselves.  Too many conflicting reports to draw a conclusion.  We are hoping for the best for them that it isn't too bad.

I guess that is about all the excitement here.  Yesterday we went shopping for groceries and TR, the kids and I went to the zoo for the afternoon.  We had fun.

I'll update again later when there is something more to say.
