Looks good...looks real good

Can you name the movie that produced that line? My favorite chick flick...bad Southern accents notwithstanding.

Well, Dennis hit while we watched the Weather Channel for several hours. If you happened to see it, and you noticed the guy in Destin, FL, you'll have seen MK's favorite shopping center. It's been open for about a year and a half. It has a great movie theater and, more importantly, Build-a-Bear. We are very thankful that we missed a serious hit. We called our home phone many times today and each time our answering machine picked up, so we knew that we had not lost power. The Big Man got in touch with a couple of people from work and they said that the damage is much less than the damage from Ivan. We are going to try to get home tomorrow to see it for ourselves. One dilemma is that the I-10 bridge to Pensacola is closed tomorrow. (It collapsed into Escambia Bay during Ivan - both north and southbound.) The alternate route is a much smaller highway around Pensacola and there will be a lot of people trying to get home. This won't affect us but may give G & P some serious delays.

Thanks for all of you who were praying for and thinking of us. We still don't know exactly what we're going to find, but we're optimistic!

Oh...and did you guess Steel Magnolias?

Glad that things are looking up. Keep us posted. Savannah was VERY concerned that MK's cat was left behind!

Yay! I'm so glad to hear the positive news!

And I DID guess "Steel Magnolias" before I read to the end of your post!
