Tuesday - 9/16
Day started out about the same as yesterday, I can’t believe how cool the weather is! It’s almost cold sleeping with the windows open. Didn't take pictures today, this one was my heron that I took 3 days before the storm, I think that is the scene I'm going to use for a stain glass above the fireplace, or something like it.
Worked at Mom’s again today, then I left her to go to a meeting at the office. While I was gone Red Cross drove by and gave her a hot meal and water, they felt sorry for her because her daughter had left her alone to work. Chloe ate the Red Cross meal for dinner, she was happy. My brother worked clearing trees at his house, and then went and picked up Fema water and MRE’s, woohoo your tax dollars at work. I think I saw George fly over, I saluted!
Chem Coast started back working in the field today, inspectors having a hard time finding gas, but we’re starting back! We picked up to 2 BIG generators to start the lab up with, and then we’re going with some type of mobile home system for Dispatch to work out of. Tomorrow I’m out to a BF house to do laundry and then head off to work. More work at Mom’s is needed, but that will start later. Sam still won’t let me use the big chain saw, which I don’t understand because I’ve used smaller ones!
Stores are starting to open up around here, and we’re starting to see power around, which is a good sign, but I’m thinking we’re still on the bottom of the list. Sam went out tonight with the diesel cans to fill up, and the gas cans, so we’re good on power for a few more days. Our field is drying up so I’ll get to start using the tractor to start a new burn pile, I’m becoming an expert operator! Now if I could just get hold of that chain saw!
Later, time to turn off the computer and plug in the TV!

Hi Terrie
What a fantastic idea to have a blog-site. Thanks for sharing. Ranch Ford certainly does look to be a piece of heaven on earth. It's beautiful!
I am so pleased that you and your family are unhurt after Ike and to hear that Ranch Ford largely escaped unscathed, although it sounds like your Mum and Sam's daughter have really suffered.
I was sorry to have missed you and Sam in Rotterdam this week but hope there'll be another time soon.
I will be a regular visitor to your blog-site. Good luck with it and enjoy!
Sending my best wishes to all + Chemcoast crew.
Love, Adèle
