While making preparations for Hurricane Gustav's arrival, I realized that I am truly thankful that I spent the time simplifying our lives and possessions. Hubby and I walked through the house today to secure our important items, and the things that we cannot live without are safely contained in just two plastic tubs which fit neatly in the back of our van. Please keep the people of the Gulf Coast in your thoughts and prayers.
