Jumping Ship
Not that conditions were that bad up in our area, but we decided to jump ship. There was no sign of power coming our way. (We've been staying with neighbors who have power) Gas lines and grocery stores are still horrible. We thought a change of scenery would do us some good. We packed up this afternoon and headed to San Marcos. People here keep asking us if we've seen this or heard about that (national news wise). Nope, our world has literally consisted of our neighborhood alone. I gotta admit it's really nice to be able to hit a switch and have light! We did make a trip to Sonic for lunch today. They got a huge truckload of supplies in overnight. Somehow a lime slush from sonic makes everything seem a little more normal. So, we're going to hang out here for the rest of the week, maybe do a little shopping at the outlet mall. I'll call back to Houston before we go back to get a shopping list from everyone and stock up on the way out of town. We've all made a list of things to do differently next time. We really were pretty prepared, just a few things that would have made life a little easier. Perhaps number one on the list should be to leave town!
