Please keep our family that live in Texas in your prayers. This morning officials came knocking on the door of Uncle Richard to tell him that Orange was under a mandatory evacuation. I am so thankful that Uncle R is evacuating because when I talked to him Wednesday night, he said he was staying put. He and our cousin Mike & his wife Sheila, who lives across the street, left their houses without boarding up the windows. I have so many childhood memories in those 2 houses. Uncle Richard lives in the house that my dad grew up in and Mike & Sheila live across the street in Aunt Sadie's (my dad's aunt) house. Kim, Jamie & I spent many, many fun days playing in Grandmother & Grandads house, as well as, Aunt Sadie's. Aunt Sadie's driveway is lined with beautiful, big Oak trees...it would be devasting if those trees fell. I pray that when they return, the houses are still standing and that the damage is minimal. We haven't talked to Uncle Mark, who also lives in Orange, so keep him in your prayers, too. Take a turn IKE and please don't go messin up ORANGE!!!!!!!!!
