?Thank you Phoebe! That is so pretty!? I didn't get to see this picture until now because my internet didn't get back on until late last night after the hurricane went through. Our house didn't get any damage, but very close by there has been a lot. They were afraid the dam might burst (two of them around Asheville and that area did), but the one here held.? I didn't have electricity from 3 A.M. Friday night until about 1:30 Friday afternoon. That wasn't exactly caused by the hurricane, apparently although it might have had a related reason--the explanation for the outage was that a car had knocked down a power pole which they were able to replace.? Anyway, lights did come back on Friday afternoon. But during the night, with the hurricane coming through, the computer and TV all went out, and I didn't get any of that back until the computer came on late last night, and the TV was back on this morning, although not all the usual channels seem to be available yet. So, I had electricity and? water during the storm, but no TV or computer/internet. I read one whole book on Monday, another whole book on Tuesday, and another half a book yesterday! Having lived in Florida for my childhood years and then again for a while after becoming an adult, I had been in some hurricanes before, but this was the worst one as far as what I have seen of its destruction. Some bridges that were destroyed going to Tennessee may (probably, I would think) take more than a year to replace.? I know you and Phorbes would not have? been happy with all the noise and having to stay inside all that time.

Love,
