Saturday Aug 27

Sat 7am The news is bad. Katrina has taken a turn towards us and she's getting stronger. 5 pm We have done as much as we can to secure the house and are on the road to Baton Rouge to join family who have some rooms in a motel. 7 pm We find our family. It's Saturday August 27, my wedding anniversary. My husband, the romantic devil, has taken me to a nearby Shoney's and sprung for the $11.95 buffet. Because I'm a tea drinker, and in the rush to leave have no means to make tea in the morning, he takes me next door to a truck stop and buys some tea bags. Because it's a special occasion, he also buys a plastic mug for $2.49. It comes with 5 free refills. He's such a big spender.
