Crystal Beach Hurricane Damage

As many of you know, my family has been anchored in Crystal Beach. I've owned property there since 1993, and my parents and brother relocated there soon in early 2001.

Our saga began on Friday at 2:00, when I got a phone call from a beach house neighbor that Doug had fallen 14 feet off a ladder as he was finishing putting up the storm boards over the windows at our beach house. He was taken by ambulance to UTMB, where after many tests, it was determined that he was able to be released. He's still immobile, but in one piece. Because Doug was now enroute to the hospital, my Yukon remained in Crystal Beach. We did have a friend come and get the car and move it to High Island, but we have yet to hear from that friend about his well being, let alone whether my Yukon made it through the storm surge. We're still waiting on that one.

Two for One SALE!!

This weekend, I moved the three girls downstairs to a bigger bedroom. So, consequently, there is still stuff everywhere between the old upstairs bedroom and the new downstairs bedroom. This morning I was in the old room looking for clothes that were scattered from hither to yon...picked up a few off the floor by the closet and proceeded to walk into another room....until I heard "MEOW....MEOW..." No...it was more like "MEW, MEW...". Regardless, Skunkitty had once again gifted me with 6 more kittens that I don't want! And....she was JUST Pregnant and gave birth at the beginning of June. The moral of this story is...the DAY AFTER you give the last kitten away? Get the cat to the vet!
