hanging out in Houston waiting for Ike... at least Saturday brings great TCM viewing!

1. Hang in there, LD!

I haven't heard anything from my family in Spring so I assume they're hunkering down, too. We're just hoping to get some rain out of this but I'm skeptical as it's supposed to be passing too far to the east. Apparently, Austin is rapidly filling up with evacuees.

I hope this fizzles out and everyone is okay!

2. thanks, sweetie!

they've told us that unless we are in a mandatory or suggested evacuation zone, or if our housing structure is iffy, to sit tight and 'shelter in place'. Mr. ld is busy cleaning up outside and battening down the hatches. I am loving the results! Things I have been fussing about for years, are being tidied up and thrown out!!!! Thank you, Ike!!!!!! :hi:

3. Shelter safely, lavenderdiva!

Yikes, you've gotten things coming and going. Didn't you host friends who were Katrina refugees?

Know what this thread needs? A picture of Thelma Ritter, who is no doubt watching all of this unfold from a better place...

4. I LOVE Thelma Ritter. She's one of the best actors Hollywood had. nt
