I loved living in Houston. It's a great city. I loved the diversity, the friendly southerners, the opera, ballet, symphony, Astros, Texans and more. I miss my friends and I miss my favorite restaurants.

BUT I DON'T MISS HURRICANE SEASON! I don't miss empty shelves at the grocery store and the panic in your heart when the wind and rains start. During Rita, David and I tried to evacuate and spent 17 hours driving to Austin - a drive that usually takes three hours.
Unfortunately, we still own our home in Houston. Fortunately, the damage is not too bad. We have trees down. There are limbs on our roof and we don't know if there are any leaks. Our fence will have to be completely replaced. There has been no power in our neighborhood since Saturday. I can't even imagine being in the Houston humidity with no air conditioning.
Here are some pictures.
