I watched Miranda Lambert try to sing a song on that special (Blake Shelton rounded up a ton of performers) and when she started crying, I got choked up, too.<br /><br />It'll be a long time coming before those folks mend.Cathy C.

What a sinking feeling replaced the joy from my trip. But my home and "stuff" are all okay, with only minor water damage. Joy returned to see my husband's smile and roses in a vase on the kitchen counter.

One was completely bent over backwards. We were in our basement that night--the dog, Katie, and my parents. It's just too scary even 20 miles away!
