John was able to call from the hospital a little bit ago……..at least the hospital has power again. He will be posting his situation on the blog soon if he can get it on his site. He has not been able to get word to Barbara up to now……even after going to Baton Rouge and finding the apartment empty. Their dog, Bear, was there so she and LJ are OK……probably out trying to find a way to call John.

We had a marathon day ourselves with five medical stops for Rocky and Becky….a little lunch and stopping for groceries. We were glad to get home after the 80-mile up and back drive. With gas prices escalating we try and make each trip count. I’m sure anyone who reads this is doing the same.

Hopefully we will all be reading or hearing from John today as soon as he can get it out. Wherever you are, have a wonderful day and keep your prayers going South…..they need all we can give them……….
