Ivan the Terrible

Sarah, Hillary and I evacuated to Jackson, Mississippi on Tuesday morning, Sept. 14. 2004.

Our dear friends, Drake and Sabrina Elder, welcomed us to their beautiful home overlooking a small lake and surrounded by lovely gardens and wildlife galore. Hillary immediately went for my camera to work on her science project. She said, "Mom, this place is a nature place and I LOVE it!!"

On Monday, she'd taken a science field trip to the swamps and bayous of southeast Louisiana, so she was "in the mood" still for nature. (See Hillary's blog of fabulous pictures taken yesterday, here at Sabrina's.)

We've had our eye on the tube and now it looks like Ivan may be heading straight for New Orleans.
