Hi everyone.
I came home a few days ago. Haven't had much time to use the internet until now. A lot more is going on than usual.
I'm glad the family is safe. Nobody evacuated or even tried. My in-laws lost power for 4 days. I invited them to stay at my apartment as it was like 100 degrees. One of their trees cracked in half.
I normally leave my car at my parent's house because it's on the way to the airport. This time I had to park at the airport because we were so late. Good/bad news. My car got damaged because some idiot hit my bumper and damaged half of it (still driveable). They didn't leave a number, of course. Houston has tons of bad drivers. <img src='style_emoticons//mad.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’mad.gif’ /> Anyway, it would have been worse if I left it at my parent's house. An even bigger jerk decided to shoot out car windows! <img src='style_emoticons//mad.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’mad.gif’ /> My dad has an ordinary Chevy truck that got badly damaged. Most of the neighbors had the same damage.
Karin, I ran out of internet time and didn't get a chance to see your post. I'll contact you if I go again. I'm always happy to have a shopping buddy. I needed all the help I could get in Stockholm. It is a very nice city. One of the best I've been to — good food — clean. But, I had trouble because everything closes so early. I only had time to do one thing per day (not counting lunch/dinner). My husband and I had trouble getting around in a timely manner. We even woke up early enough.
Jacky, actually I was in London….only in the airport. I had to take a connecting flight to Stockholm and then from Copenhagen. Believe you me I want to stop by longer. London is one of my favorite cities. It feels like home (although I was born and raised in Texas). We could go shopping. Order solids at Harrods in person.
