He called about 6:00 last night, and said a mandatory evacuation order had just been issued for his area, and he was planning to head our way within an hour. Half an hour later, he called to say they'd changed their minds and were going to Orlando to stay a night or two with his in-laws. I think it was a good call. Under the best of conditions, the drive from there to here would take about six hours, but the roads were jammed with people trying to escape Florida, so who knows how long it would have taken them. Their home is surrounded by enormous Spanish moss-draped trees. Flooding shouldn't be a problem, but we're concerned about one of those trees coming down on their house. We'll just have to keep the faith. Again, thanks. Bless you, too.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-67937397024264065782016-10-07T10:46:53.226-04:002016-10-07T10:46:53.226-04:00Thinking of you and the horrible hurricane that is...Thinking of you and the horrible hurricane that is coming your way in GA.

The big difference is bloggers get immediate feedback via comments, which can be very gratifying. When you write a book, even people who claim to "love" your book rarely take the time to write a review, which CAN lead to certain feelings of insecurity. If one were so inclined. (Which we all are!)
