Gustav Evacutation-Vacation

Home again, Home again, never to roam!
Jeesh I wish.
We made it through Gustav. Now we are watching Hanna, Ike, Josephine and whatever else comes next.
I would rather not talk much about the pains of evacuation, but rather the high points of it. We went to Picayune MS which is not that far away from New Orleans. But our elevation was a safe 200+ so we didn't have to worry about flooding. We were treated like Kings and Queens. Fed up to 3 meals every day and all of the comforts of home. Thanks Mr. Jules and Ms. Jannie. God bless you. They unfortunatly lost everything in St. Bernard Parish during Katrina. A lot of my FIL's friends did. They have 5 acres in Pic. Ms now and it was a fun Evacuation-Vacation-Labor day for my boys.
Except for the youngest running fever the whole time and a spider bite.
Thank God we are now home, with power and sewage!! Yeah! Not much to choose from in the food dept. But an Italian pie was open yesterday. So we had it delivered.
It was so nice to take a shower and sleep in my own bed. Especially taking a nap in piece.... That was soooo needed.
We will have to hang in there and see what IKE is up to though. I will keep yall posted.
