Vidkid Timo's Online Diary

The diary of Vidkid Timo
- boring details of my life -

Philip and I woke up to a message from landlubber lad Allan saying not to come to New Orleans... that he and Mike had evacuated to Texas!

We decided to go to my mother's in St. Francisville.

While packing the truck, Philip saw a four or five foot long black snake go into a hole in our house! We tried to get it out, but couldn't... so we eventually just plugged up the hole. We're pretty sure it won't be able to get into the house. That would be a nightmare!

We decided not to drive on the intersates (since they would surely be slow with the huge amount of traffic of other Hurricane Ivan refugees) so we took the back roads... and that turned out to be very wise.

When we drove through Jackson, Louisiana we passed the State Hospital where my grandmother worked for many years (and lived on the grounds). There was a small light burning it what was a greenhouse she had built near her backdoor. Seeing that for the first time in 22 years took my mind back to many a childhood hour of playing in that greenhouse... and just being with my grandmother. I was very close to her... and I owe much of my personality to her influence. I really miss her... but at that moment, seeing the glowing greenhouse, I felt her spirit swell up through my body. It was quite an unexpected gift... running from the storm.

We got to St. Francisville and watched some t.v. with my mother before going to bed on this Tuesday, September 14th, 2004.
