Every inchie has a story and boy does this one pack a punch! I signed up for the *Nature* theme in Dena's inchie swap last summer (200. My original plan was to do something pretty like - flowers or birds maybe. But then...Hurricane Ike hit the Houston area with full force. Imagine being without electricity for 18 days with temperatures of 100 degrees! It was miserable. Needless to say, my inchie project was not on the priority list. It was a challenge just to get a bag of ice! The misery was not over - My DH suffered a very serious head injury from a falling tree branch when he was trying clean up the yard TWO weeks AFTER the hurricane! That day was a nightmare. Hubby is all well now and had a full recovery except for a large scar on his forehead.
This inchie certainly has a lot of memories that I will never forget. So much for the pretty flowers I had planned for this Nature theme. So there you have it - Meet Hurricane Ike. Any of you out there experienced a hurricane? Then you are familiar with the term: *Hunker Down!* It's not pretty huh? LOL
Thanks for stopping by and taking a closer look.
