Greetin= gs, all: I had posted to the= ansteorra list last night, and I cannot tell *what* happened to my letter,= but I see that it has pretty much got butchered in transition. Don't= want to be as long-winded as I was at first, so will say that we did the r= efugee thing for 12 hours before getting to our destination in Onalaska, TX= , the location of a brother-in-law's small vacation condo. Thanks so very v= ery much to all who offered us shelter. We received four or five offers fro= m the time I posted my original "help" letter through about a thr= ee hour span of time after, and wound up revising our evac routes= several times due to traffic, gridlock, and projected path of storm v= s. where we thought we could safely get to fastest. We wound up back at pla= n A after all was said and done, which was the condo. Turns out it was= Providential; we came out pretty well there in terms of rain and wind amou= nts and only losing a few shingles about the complex. Great appreciation = and thanks go to Mary Elizabeth, Ld Russel Rischard (did I get that right o= r mix SCA & mundane?), and several others whose names I have noted down= but can't recall unaided. God knows who you are, and I ask Him to bless yo= u all. Thanks so much. -Meresankh Wimhotep (mka Wendy = Wimberley, & family) _________________________________________________________________ Netscape. Just the Net= You Need.
