Hello Friends and Family,
We arrived back at the beach from our month long visit to Amarillo and points between and Steven and Brendan had a few fine days on the beach before going home to the Nashville area.. On Friday, we drove them to Nashville where they had to begin 6th and 8th grade today. Ted and I returned to Bolivar Peninsula just in time to welcome Tropical Depression/Hurricane Edouardo, which turned out not to hit us hard this time. We had high winds of about 50-60 mph here on the beach and some rain, but nothing like the destruction caused by Rita, for which we are very happy. Thanks sincerely to each friend and family member who called or wrote to check on our welfare.
Ted and I ventured out yesterday afternoon and drove along the Peninsula and other than water gathered in some ditches, we only saw two poles down with one live wire and a few outbuildings toppled over due to the storm. The predictors were fearing a storm surge of sea water, but as far as we know, that did not happen here. The storm made landfall at High Island on our beloved Peninsula, but Port Arthur and Groves also got some wind and rain out of it, along with some power outage as well. Thank God, we missed the bad brunt of this one. Hurricane watching is the price we pay for living on the beach year round.
We have many new photographs to post and lots of reports on our travels as soon as time permits.
Until the next page turns,
Brenda
My son, Dr. John Stancil (Brent) is speaking in a revival service at Rosebud Baptist Church in Loganville, Georgia this week. Attached is a picture of dear old friends, Kay Hicks Daniell, DeAnna Stancil Davis, my daughter, and Pam Hicks Gresham, who were there for the services.
