Emma's eleventh birthday

Tomorrow is my oldest granddaughter's birthday. Emma will be 11. This is the second time a hurricane has ruined her birthday.
Emma lives in Manhattan with her mom, dad and two little brothers. When she was five she came down to New Orleans to see us for her birthday. She celebrated on the run from Katrina. Now Irene has her huddled in the dark in her apartment in Manhattan.
It's so sad you have to laugh. At 11 some of us in the family tease her about being a hurricane birthday magnet. She certainly will have some wild and woolly tales for her grandchildren when that day comes.
Hopefully, Irene will be her last hurricane/birthday encounter. Happy birthday Emma.
