Re: Ike

Cathy,
I may just have to come by myself.  I was hoping my husband could come too....
he would love it as much as I would... well almost as much. 
My brother that lives in Houston called tonight...he won't have electricity
for awhile so he is thinking of taking a cycle trip up.  I think he might come
this next week so maybe after he goes back I can give you a call. 
Thank you for offering.  I just looked up the website and ask for a travel
package from the convention center.  How is your fall color coming along?  I
am thinking in the next 2 or 3 weeks it might be really great.  What do you
think?

Tricia, I would love to meet you show you around. When you decide on a
time frame, let me know. Weekends might be a little dicey (though I'm
sure we could manage one), as DH has Rams tickets for some of them,
but since I am happily retired, we could work out a weekday or two (I
have guest bedrooms.).
