Back Home

We returned home safely to find everything in tact except all our food from the deep freeze and refrigerator. Thankfully, I had not done my once a month cooking last month. Loosing that many meals could have sent me over the edge. Even though we are all alright I think a lot of people suffered from some strange Hurricane syndrome, including me. It seemed like it took forever to get back into the swing of things. Our parents fared about the same with only minor damage to their roofs. Everyone I have talked to in the Lake Charles area says it looks like a war zone there. Trees down everywhere. We think it was no coincidence though that not one tree fell on my parent's street. Right before we all evacuated one mom's neighbors told us that they were not evaucating and that she and her mom had walked their street and prayed over all the houses and people living in them. The power of prayer.
