Just a Small Portion of the damage from Hurricane Harvey!!!!
My daughter took these yesterday near the town of Rock Port, where her husbands Aunt, Uncle, and cousins "road out" this horrendous hurricane. Thank goodness they are "okay" but almost were swept away by flood waters... they were in a building with a concrete foundation very well bolted down, and it came off of that foundation and literally "floated" into the neighbor's home.... She said the photo's do not even begin to show the true nature of what this storm did... that HUGE BOATS, LIKE YACHTS WERE TOSSED UPON THE SHORE LINES AND THROWN AROUND LIKE TOOTHPICKS!!!!

PLEASE Keep MY DAUGHTER, HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AS WELL AS EVERYONE IN THE GULF COAST REGION DUE TO THE HURRICANE HEADED TOWARDS THEM AS A CAT 3
PLEASE EVERYONE !!!!!! Keep my DAUGHTER, HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS THIS HURRICANE COMING IN TO THE GULF COAST COULD BE RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF ALL OF THEM!!! They live only about 30 MINUTES from Corpus and it is NOT LOOKING GOOD while the storm picked up to a Cat 3 hurricane, and appears to be making landfall very close to them. Also, pray for everyone in the areas that are in the path if this monstrous and extremely "slow moving" storm which could mean much more flooding and damage to the entire Gulf Coast all the way from the Corpus area, all the way to Houston..
It could also bring torrential down pours even through the San Antonio area, and up through my way, we could have a great deal of rain from it.... also our Eastern Seaboard is experiencing severe storms due to the HOT and now a cool front coming through that can cause tornado's, high winds, lots of electrical stormy weather, flooding, hail, wind damage and more.... So, many of us are either in the path of something horrendous, or have family and friends in the zone of these storms....

I pray all are well, homes are well, electricity stays on, and no one loses life or limb to high waters and other things that come from these storms....

"Stomp Out Bullying" October Month
With School just beginning this is a HUGE issue for so many kids!!!! I am in total support of this campaign... after being a "bit overweight" as a teenager, I was "teased" about it, nothing like what happens now, but it did effect me, even today.... I see an "overweight" girl when I look in the mirror... so "any" type of teasing, etc... can effect our kids the rest of their lives....
