Sept. everything looks ok now. Hurricane is headed towards cuba and the possibly gulf of mexico. I suppose we are not completely out of the woods but I am breathing at a more normal pace and I can no long feel my heart pounding in my chest.

I knew I might not be able to pack the family jewels but my fabric stash was definitely making it out of town.

The trouble is once Ike gets past cuba you don't have any idea where will be it's next port of call.

Thanks for think of the fabric stash. It is good friends like you that people can count on.
