Hi Hap,

->  hn> Have not heard from my Aunt and Uncle in
->  hn> Morehead, I'll call today to see how they
->  hn> are doing.

 hn> got an email from them, they DID get outta
 hn> dodge, and went to Raliegh and stayed with


Good to hear they got out and went to Raleigh (in this case, e before
i). Onslow county was declared a disaster area today--about time!

 hn> my cousin and her husband. They're back
 hn> home now and damage was minimal, strong
 hn> winds had knocked a few branches of trees
 hn> along their street, but power is underground
 hn> so evidently they never lost power and everything
 hn> (so far) looks good.

Few miles one way or another can make a huge amount of difference in
damage. Friends of ours live just north of Mobile; they're going to get
drenched in the next few days.

-> We're hearing a lot on the news about the damage to the Outer Banks. It
-> store above the flood plain in 96 but there was never any follow thru.
-> (Wonder if they will now-G-) My brother has a 4WD pick up truck and has
-> been able to get out some; he will shop for my folks on his way back
-> from work (and said he'd pick up healthier stuff).

 hn> It's amazing that folks will build again and
 hn> again in the same spot, only to be whacked
 hn> again by Mother Nature...she keeps trying
 hn> to get 'em to understand!!

Manteo book store has rebuilt 8 times according to what they said on the
news yesterday. Rebuild #9 is coming up.

-> About that, yes. Picked one tomato today.

 hn> Oh yum!

It was good but not great. Anoter one went bad, one left before we take
out the plants.

->  hn> soap before I peel the fruit. Good rinse of
->  hn> water after peeled and then to Anne.

-> Get rid of most of the germs anyway, however you can do it.

 hn> Yep!

Doesn't do you any harm either to eat cleaner fruits & veggies.

-> And hopefully escaped any of Irene. Sounds like Anne is slowing down a
-> bit; the next round of chemo will be rougher since she's wiped out from
-> the first. You'll have to really keep her nutrition up, easier said than
-> done but got to be done.

 hn> I sure hope she's safe, want her back here
 hn> and ready to keep Anne's health at it's best!

Sounds like a good idea to me.

->  hn> Not sure I remember seeing any from Virginia
->  hn> Beach...speaking of which I hope that Carol
->  hn> and family are alright. VB took a direct hit.

-> Saw a message from her a bit earlier in the packet--brief but it appears
-> she rode this one out in good shape. I don't think many pictures were
-> taken at the VB gathering; it was a small one. But, we did try that
-> conference phone call. (G)

 hn> I remember that( that...that...that!) (grin)

It seemed like a good idea at the time. (G)

->  hn> Anne has that one...and one that says;
->  hn> "I've got Chemo-Brain, What's YOUR

-> I like that but I couldn't wear it as I didn't have chemo.

 hn> Oh you lucky thing you!!

Just worked out that way; mine was one that would not have been helped
by chemo or tamoxifin. Got a bit more radiation than the standard course
tho as a preventative measure.
