Blogging Rita- part 7

I just received an update from my Mom’s evacuation progress.  I wanted to bring her to my house since she’s 82 years old and lives alone but my sister and her husband decided to evacuate to his brother’s house in Dallas.  Mom decided to go with them and they left town late last night.  I just heard from her and they are only 50 miles north of Houston, sitting in a gridlock, and only estimate an hour or two of gas left.  Hopefully one of those fuel trucks that Governor Perry has dispatched to the main evacuation routes will reach them in time.  In addition to my elderly Mom they also have my brother-in-law’s mother with them who is in her nineties.
