My precious friends, here I am. Don't dare spend much time online - the phone lines are up just a bit but have to run the pc on generator and running the well for water is critical. Just to let you know that this is ME and not a hoax - the gators, I'm told, were attending a thanksgiving prayer service at the Orange Grove Baptist Church yesterday. The bluff by the river where our children live is being protected by 2 Florida Highway Patrolmen on a blue and yellow 4-wheeler. There are dear fellow from South Carolina on our road right now trying to get the oak trees off the power lines. I hear, but do not know, that the hospital has a refrigerated truck to put body bags in. I don't know whose. Our family is alive and still have homes or some parts of. And we have such wonderful powerful dear hearts praying for us. As ever, the out-of-state church groups and the Salvation Army are here and feeding folks. The FEMA trucks are here handing out ice. Now, I ask you, do I really want to walk 20 miles to get a sack of ice? And the Red Cross is here taking up collections. (Sorry, I'll have to join anger management sometime soon.) I love you all dearly. Polly
