Nice Visit, Bad Circumstances

Aunt Joy was at Arrowhead for her annual nursing school reunion. They have been coming for several years now. Grandma was adopted right into the bunch. Unfortunately Joy wasn't able to return to her home in Baytown today when the reunion was over. In fact, she still has no word about the condition of her house because Baytown has no power or water and residents are urged not to return yet. She was headed to her sister's house in Kingsland over by Llano. Thomas, who rode out the storm at Cindy's house in Cypress, told her to stay there until he had things back up and running at home.

The Bingham's were here as well. They left this morning even though Friendswood still had no power. Danny and Bobby stayed behind through the storm and report downed trees and fencing at all of their houses, as well as some roof damage. Overall though, houses were basically in good shape. We have many non-family guests still here at the resort because they cannot yet return home. It was difficult to watch them wait for the storm, and now difficult to watch them wait for news. Makes us thankful for what we have.
