Running from Rita

Well, we ran away on thursday, fled up to arkansas with some family.
It was nice there, but after a few days, we started to get stur crazy.
Saturday we drove through the storm a little..went down to Ruston.
When we got to Ruston, there was no power, so we just went straight to
Natchitoches.  When we got to Natchitoches, I busted my tire :( We
visited Prudhomme and Prem and his wife. They fed us and it was fun.
Then we went to visit Mrs. Sanjeetha and her family, they were out of
power, so we sat in candlelight, it was neat. After that, John Shore
let us stay the night at prudhomme in the sick room. That was very
nice of him.  Sunday we went and got the tire fixed at walmart, where
all the frozen/cold food had to be thrown out…it was sad.  Then we
headed back to lafayette bc i had to be at work at night.  Last night
was busier than i’ve ever seen it for a sunday night at casa ole.  It
very well could have been a friday night, except it was compacted into
two fewer hours, and we were running out of chips, guacamole, ground
beef, etc.  I made $99 which for a sunday night, is crazy. Normally i
make about $20 tops on a sunday night.
