A BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY

A windy afternoon. Five or Six inches of rain.

We survived Hanna Saturday without any pain.

Since we didn't lose power, I decided to make...

though 8 days overdue--Sam's birthday cake!!

Since Patrick had until ten before he headed back to U.S.N.A.

He and his family came over to help us celebrate Sam's day.

***********************

Our Sunday dawned bright and sunny and warm...

We're thankful to God, we survived this tropical storm.

Sunday morning for worship we were joined by these two...

Lauren & Sarah, coeds at American U.

Colorado & Angola---they're from far away
Sweet fellowship with them, blessed us today.

Waiting for Hanna

We've got our cell phones charged up.

The patio furniture is secured.

We've got a fresh case of water & batteries.

And our laundry is done...

Recalling Isabel in 2003---

No power for 3 days

No phone--No A/C--No TV--No fun.

WE HOPE WE'RE READY FOR HANNA!!
