Mom is here to visit!

I tried to keep it a secret from Sahara, but she had guessed and then I let the word slip on the way to the airport to get her that I hoped she would be allowed to fly in because we were in the middle of Gustav. Gustav lasted a good 2 days straight. The storm got stuck over Arkansas and stalled. We got in the state 4 to 13 inches of rain in the 2 days. Our area was in the 7 to 8 inch mark. We have downed trees and limbs everywhere around the town. But our house fared pretty well this time. We were out of power for about 8 hours, but other in the state were out for up to several days.
