"A Thank You to All"

Thanks everyone for your kind words and well wishes for those of us in Texas during Hurricane Ike. We are boarded up and I am sending this to Silke to post for me in the morning. I so appreciate it and as soon as I am back in communication I will call Silke and let her know how we fared. Tonight we expect anywhere from 75-110mph winds, so I'm a bit jittered over it, but my son, my daughter and my husband are with me here. We have food and water and we are 50 miles from the coast. I am expecting downed trees and wide spread power outages. Thanks so much for all your prayers and well wishes!
I love you all!
Linda

P.S. From Silke: I am posting this on Linda's behalf. She did not sign on this morning at our agreed upon time, so that means she is now without electricity. She will phone me via cell phone when the lines are clear and I will let you know via the forums how she is doing. When I talked to her last night she was fine, although a little nervous. She expected that, once the power was out, it would stay out for close to a week. She has sent me several pictures to upload daily on her behalf. The first is the one of the sunset on the night before the storm hit (yesterday). I will post it in the WS as per her request.
Many thanks and blessings to all who continue to keep sending her positive energies and/or keep her, her family, and all of her fellow citizens in their prayers.
