hello!

Hi everyone. Sorry it has been so long but it has been a busy time. I got an email from my friend, DeAnn, today. They got home to Mississippi sometime late Monday. She said they have two huge holes in their roof and there AC got blown. She said it is so hard to describe the destruction that is all around....and the smell. But otherwise her house is okay as far as I know. Rescue workers brought them lots of water and ice because the water still is drinkable. They have someone coming tomorrow to put tarps over the holes in their roof. I guess it is kinda hard to find roofers right now. She said there was so much debris around her house and that most of her neighborhood was destroyed. So she is feeling pretty lucky right now. She said that of all their offices (about 7) that they lost about 15 employees and one doctor. I'm assuming she means they had to relocate because they lost their homes but I haven't heard back from her regarding that. It looks like they will be okay with Hurricane Rita...I hope they don't get too much rain. Wouldn't go well with the holes in the roof. Those poor people on the Gulf Coast have just had it so hard. She asked that everyone continue to pray for them.

On to work....yes I finally got my hard drive for my computer and it is better but still not great. We obviously use a lot of memory and sometimes the computer just drags. Makes work difficult. Supposedly they were talking about getting more band width (totally clueless there) but it would cost an outrageous amount for Bellsouth to run a line for it just to use for a few months since we are moving to our new office in December so they are going to wait. Ugh!! Oh well, it could be worse....I could still be hooked up to the terminal server and get NOTHING done.

Bobby has had some kind of problem with his feet....hurting really bad and can't walk on them. I don't know if it is heel spurs or what. (I was even thinking gout). If it is still bothering him tomorrow, I'll get him worked in with one my docs. Claire is still enjoying school. She has started taking dance lessons once a week. They cover ballet, tap, etc. Erin is still Erin. Little Miss Attitude. Hates school. Dropped out of band. So now....we are trying to decide whether to sell her saxophone or save it in case Claire will want to play. But you know how that goes, if we save it Claire will want to play something else and if we sell it, she'll want to play it. Well, I guess that is it for now. Later!!
