Glad today brings you better times and happier days to come.

Hey Ann -
We were cleaning up from that NOT REMEMBERED HURRICANE
RITA!!!
Not many people remember but less than a month after Hurricane Katrina hit Southeast Louisiana - Hurricane RITA which was a CLASS 4 Hurricane (Katrina hit as a 3) hit Southwest Louisiana ~
Our area was devasted just as bad as New Orleans but we didn't receive the press coverage.
~
The people in our area did evacuate but we probably wouldn't have if our area had been hit first ~ but watching what everyone went thru - in SouthEast Louisiana AND in Mississippi - we did leave when asked - even those of us that had to stay in shelters, leave on buses, etc. I came home the next day to utter destruction - it was heartbreaking to see your hometown devasted ~ but encouraging to watch everyone pull together to make it thru it.
YES - recovery from a Hurricane is tough - but nothing compared to the Hurricane that addiction/alcoholism does to our lives!
Thanks for all the support, love and understanding! i would never make it without y'all!
PINK HUGS!
