It took a hurricane
to finally get my phone line repaired. I had my house completely
rewired and still no phone. The hurricane took care of it. The repairman came by about 2 a.m. I was up at that time and wondered out to see how much damage the storm had done. I got to talk to the repairman after he came down. Some kind of chip had to be replaced. The same one that had malfunctioned 4 years ago. Not much damage here. Some neighbors lost cable, some lost electric and me I had no phone. Couldn't evacuate. The evacuation of about 2 million people had the interstates and state highways choked with those leaving Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Winds were not bad and we didn't get the 22 inches of rain as predicted. And the first business to open...Walmart. And keeping this on topic, all my SM's were packed in the van along with my machine quilting frame. As I waited out the storm I pinned 70 blocks together ready for the SM and got the fabric ready for the border of my Hunter's Star. Sun should be out today so we can dry out. Kate T. |

Kate, I'm so glad that things weren't too bad for you! And now that the phone line is fixed, you're all set to get back to "normal" -- until the next one hits. Good luck. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas sw.foster1 (at) gmail (dot) com (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net |

Surprised to see you, Kate. We figured you'd be at least in Kansas by now.
