Thanks for all the concerned messages and queries about the hurricane!  We are in Houston...today Rusty had appointments in preparation for tomorrow morning's gamma knife surgery on the remaining brain tumor.

John, Tracy and Joey are here with us...they had planned to be here for the radiosurgery and to fly back to Washington state from IAH Saturday morning

We are now just all rolling with the punches....surgery is still scheduled, and since it's outpatient, we are thinking that we will hook up the trailer and head northwest as soon as possible after the surgery.  Whether or not John and family come with us depends on the weather and on the feasibility of flying back to WA.  All plans are tentative at this point.

Family and friends in Corpus are putting up our hurricane shutters and preparing the house for us.  We have a couple who house sit for us and care for our dogs when we are gone...they will stay at our house.  SO happy to have John, Tracy and Joey here to help and support.  We spent part of yesterday at the Houston Museum of Natural Science with 14 year old Joey who also loves the pool here at the RV park.

Greatgrandson Julian and his parents left or home on Tuesday...Jacob, who is in the Army, had to be back to work on Wed.  What a happy time we had with the baby!
