We've been issued a mandatory evacuation, for Hurricane Gustav, starting at 6:00 AM tomorrow morning. Hurricane Katrina and Rita (which hit Orange three years ago) were category 3 hurricanes, and currently Gustav is a category 5 (which is the worst). We're headed to Austin to stay with one of my very best girlfriends (thanks, Shanan) and her very kind husband. I hope they don't kick us out, they've never met my rowdy kids. We're not thrilled about leaving, or the thought of coming back to destruction, but we are praying and hoping that the storm will not hit hard. If I have not posted giveaway winners by Wednesday, it's because we're busy having a blast seeing the sights in Austin. Anything we must see?
We're right on the border where Texas meets Louisiana, right in the red.

All who read Jill's blog - I am the Shanan who Jill is coming to visit ... do any of you know if they have a cell phone? If so, could you provide me with that number? You can email this information to shanan.durda@gmail.com
Thanks!
