Dear Friends:

Thank you again for all of your concerns and prayers. We were so lucky to be spared and are now waiting to hear how the rest of Florida fared.

I was so exhausted when it was done that I fell asleep watching the Olympic coverage.

Lesson learned - next time we will evacuate, even though originally we were told that we could stay! When the storm went to Category 4, I nearly lost it. Fortunately, Tom just sat down and turned on the golf channel which brought me back to reality!

Of course, as it turns out, if we had evacuated we probably would have gone to Orlando - right into the ultimate path of the storm. Hurricanes are scary - I hope we don't have to do this again any time soon.

Marc & Arlene, Joanna and Tony, hope all is well with you.
