Update: Oct. 29
As everyone has probably guessed, it's best to assume all Southeast Texas scheduled events could have been cancelled. I'd highly suggest calling to confirm the events before going to the locations.
I've been posting images on my other blog and will concentrate on it until at least Nov. 15. I'll get back to this blog around then.
Many new blogs have been created since Hurricane Rita hit our area. Below are two I've learned about. If others exist, please e-mail the URLs to me.
New blogs:
Lumoto's Woes
I'm an extremely proud grandmother, and an equally proud mom. I have four felines who think they are human. My life is quite simple, and I like it that way. Retirement is my dream and tranquilty is my goal.
