Edouard is coming to visit!!!!!

No, I don't have a new French boyfriend with a posh name (!!), so who on earth is Edouard I hear you wonder? And I'm not referring to a visit to Houston by former French prime minister Edouard Balladur either!
... so WHO IS EDOUARD???

If you were in Texas you would no doubt know the answer by now, as all the TVs, radios and signs on the side of the freeways are announcing his arrival... yes, Edouard is actually a tropical storm that formed in the Gulf of Mexico yesterday, and is approaching Houston!! It may even turn into a little hurricane before it hits the coast near here, in Galveston. How exciting is that!!!
Now, there's no certainty that it will indeed come here, or that it will be spectacular, but we'll see... It's probably going to involve quite a lot of rain, leaving the office early not to be caught in flooded streets, and a bit of wind. We'll keep you posted!

Sounds like it's time to batten down the hatches & experience another aspect of life in the Lone Star State!!

Keep us posted & take care,
