| Katrina Katrina Katrina- oh crazy storm Katrina! |
Well, I think the effects of the storm are just devastating! I feel so blessed to be in my house, safe and warm (cold when it's too hot), with my family by my side. Food in my fridge and all the comforts of home. I've donated 'Still Pond' a bracelet inspired by Monet's "Waterlillies" painting to : http://imageevent.com/tascha/katrinareliefeffort where there is a silent auction underway to benefit survivors of Katrina. I sent in my donation this morning, so I'm not sure how long it will take to get up there, but the starting bid was only $25 on a bracelet valued at $80! So- if you've had your eyes on this have a look.  This is a good time to get your hands on a one-of-a-kind lampwork and Swarovski bracelet and have the funds go to such a great cause.
In addition to the Katrina disaster, while we are okay here in Sunny San Diego... it is touching us personally as PJ's battalion was activated to go help the relief efforts in the south. We've been told he'll be gone 30-120 days. (Nice window of time huh?) but I suspect it will err on the sooner time frame as they have to qualify for missions before they can deploy to Iraq/Afghanistan (or wherever they go) in January/February. That said I'm sure someone will push to get our boys home so they are prepared when they leave on deployment. Going to the south to assist in clean-up efforts will not delay or change their upcoming deployment. hmpphh :( Oh well, such is the life of a military family :)
Back to cleanin' the house and getting laundry done. I'm going to get my toes done this morning (a little treat for myself!)
Hugs!
