I'M BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thumbs_up.gif
After a 17+ hour drive from N.O. to Houston.....no access to a computer....living with family who don't even like cake.....granny taking ill....and being worried if FEMA covers cake supplies.....I'm home.
GOD....I missed you people.
My home is fine, not a scratch. Only losses where all the food in the fridge and freezer. Lost lotsa MMF and BC.
We had to leave my granny in a Houston hospital. She took ill and RITA forced my family there to evacuate and me and mom came back home. I can't wait to get her back and get baking again.
I 'regular' job is with the City of New Orleans. I saw my office on the news under about 9 feet of water. Needless to say, we won't be opening up too soon. Thank God the City has still been paying us. I don't know how long that will last, but I keep thinking about all the extra time I'll be having to decorate.....YAY!!!!!
It does this boy good to be loved.........Thank ya'll sooo much for thinking of me....Devin

I confess too!!!! I thought you were a girl, Devin! LOL Not that you are girly. And I know there are other guys on here, that is why I try not to just use the term 'gals' in my posts. Sorry, Devin!!!!

I am soooo glad you are ok and the only thing you lost was food. Even though that is expensive too....you are VERY fortunate! I hope your Granny will be ok. At least you were able to get her to a hospital safely.

You and your family and everyone else affected by all these storms are constantly a part of my prayers!!!

Glad you are back!!!

Yes, I think "He" was the only person we haven't heard from, haha.
Sorry Devin, there are a lot of men that are marvelous bakers and decorators and pastry chefs, in fact at on time this career choice was dominated by men. That is ok, we would like you even if you were a "Boy Named Sue"!

Very glad to have you back and know that you are safe. We will continue to pray for your Granny. Did she stay in Houston during Rita or did she get evacuated? Hopefully, you will all be back together soon.

Now we just need to hear from our South and East Texas and Louisiana friends.

TC - how are holding up? Do you have your waders on?

It looks like the Dallas area will not get much of anything, maybe a little rain and wind.

WELCOME BACK home!! You're family missed you!!!

I am so glad to hear you're ok. You were worrying us all, it is good to know everyone in our little family on CC made it out of Katrina with only bumps and bruises, the rest of the material things can be replaced.

Glad to hear that you're ok, A lot of clean up ahead of you (expecially if you want to get baking until you can work, lol) But it is wonderful to hear you're all right.
