Outlooker, thank you for being my window to the outside world. And thank you all for your good wishes. Florida Mom, my Mom was released from the hospital today. She had quite an ordeal in the hospital - they lost power and their generators failed. We came home to a wonderful gift - we have power!!!!!!!!! Navyvet, I'm so sorry you don't have power yet. I wish I could send you my electricity. Zoollee! What a treat to find you here! You are absolutely right - I was sending those text messages via cell phone. I discovered that even when the phone has no signal and can't make or receive a call, it is still capable of sending and receiving text messages. What a treat it is to now have a real keyboard to type into - the numeric keypad on my cell phone is tough to type words into. Now that I have power back I promise I will write. I have so much to tell all of you, but here I am finally at my computer and I can't put it all into words. I will write more later after I've put my thoughts together. What a week it has been!
