Well, after a huge build-up, with the forecasters telling us how bad it was going to be, and to be prepared for high winds and power outages, we got next to nothing! We've had much worse just from thunderstorms. It was kind of disappointing actually! It went just east of us. We got lots of rain, but not even any flash flooding.
We've had beautiful weather all week. Sunshine and temperatures in the high 70's, low 80's. And cool enough at night to need a quilt on the bed. It's like fall!
I haven't been able to post because our week has just been extremely hectic. We had our normal school routine, plus a girl's activity day that I was in charge of, plus a little birthday get-together with Lynette's friends. I even forgot to send Newel a birthday card. Then the day before his birthday I figured I would just call, but I never had a chance! I was busy with teaching 11 kids in a co-op class at my house in the morning, then I had an emergency preparedness dinner at my house in the evening. So, I hope you had a good birthday, Newel, (once the power was back on)!
Oh, the kitten's name is Jet. We tried Stormy for several days, but it just didn't seem to work. She and Devon get along fine, but Devon still gets a little too excited, so we still have to watch them pretty closely.

We're glad the hurricane didn't get you. I wondered if we got 60-mph winds here, what must it have been like in Plano? But apparently Ike was saving up for Kentucky and Indiana.
OK, I don't know who tweens is, somehow blogger put some other name in for me.
