    As most of you know hurricane frances came through and dumped a record amount of rain in my county and surrounding counties. It brought along with it record amounts of rain. Jenny's work was almost completely submerged and basically destroyed everything inside the building. I just got back from viewing the building and it's basically a total loss and she may be looking for a new job which is very bad because she has an excellent job with great benefits. The owner of the building is very disturbed, so please keep him and everyone else who was effected in your thoughts and prayers.

    Weather has been nuts down south ... Just got a call from my sister today. She lives about 20 miles south of Sarasota, FL on the Gulf Coast. They had a mandatory evacuation of non-Florida residents today. She is not hanging around for a 3rd hurricane ... she and the family are leaving Florida and heading up to my place in GA until Ivan blows by ..... Figures she'll beat the traffic before they evacuate Florida residents as well. If the maps are correct Ivan will be hitting her place sometime late Monday night ...

    You and your family are in my prayers. A family I know lost their house in Porta Gorda a few weeks ago and they flew here to New Jersey for safety last weekend. I am going to have to find out what their plans are now for this storm. Those families down there have been really battleing it out this year. I am so glad my parents chose to move us back here years ago.

    Thanks for all the kind words!! I feel so sorry for those in Florida, they have had enough of this crap for one year!!!

    We finally go to view the inside of Jenny's work, what a disaster! Everything was a total loss:(

    They had tons of important documents that are now on there was to Texas to be Freeze Dried, which is some kind of restoration/preservation process!! (very expensive)

    The other bad news is that Jenny had left our wedding pictures at her work that week so they were a total loss also.....:(
