I guess we should expect hurricanes in NOLA, but the thought of evacuating again is a bit depressing. I've already heard many NOLA residents on the news saying that they aren't going to evacuate again . . . which could spell big trouble for the city. The path could still shift around a lot . . . so lets hope and pray for the best!
Matt, Frankie and I returned last night from NC . . . about a 12 hr drive. The traffic was good until we reached NOLA. Frankie was bad until we drugged her again. At least we're getting practice with evacuating.
Not much damage here . . . lots of fallen limbs and debris, broken fences, and trash on the sides of the roads. No flooding, and we had power when we got home last night. Food is a different story . . . Matt had to go to 3 places before he found food for dinner. The only thing available at the place he went was "the box" . . . four pieces of (fried) chicken, french fries and a piece of butter soaked bread. Very healthy for sure! Oh well, at least we got to eat.
Pictures from the evacuation to my parents . . .
Frankie sitting on Matt's suitcase . . . ready to go back to NOLA I guess . . .
Matt had fun in Gastonia. He and my dad went to the shooting range on Monday, and then Matt returned the next day by himself . . . shoot em' up Matt (Notice his very daper 'shooting' attire . . . he was the only one dressed in Polo)
Here, Matt is showing that he can take out your bladder with his gun as well as with a scapel in OR!
In my parents' dining room . . .
Frankie loved my parents' screened-in porch . . . here she is rolling around on the porch
Frankie is trying to take a bath and her mother won't stop taking pictures of her . . .
Frankie is now sitting on Matt's clean clothes, which Matt was really happy about . . .
Matt, tell us how you really feel about driving 12 hrs back to NOLA . . .
Frankie was happy about it too . . .
Didn't Matt want to get in the picture with the back of my hair?
Family happiness in the car . . .
the Industrial Canal . . .
Frankie is so glad to be home . . . she sits with her paws crossed all the time . . .
Is she trying to wake me up?

I love the picture of Matt's face on the way back.....its so typical of him! I'm sure he's thinking some not-so-nice things about having to drive back. Glad you guys made it back safely and hopefully Ike will keep away from NOLA! I want to come visit soon but think I'll wait until after hurricane season.
