GOOD MORNING, LOVE, HUGS & BLESSINGS, Ms. Barbie, I pray YOU have a SPLENDIFEROUSLY SENSATIONAL SATURDAY, and are having a STUPENDOUS WEEKEND, my friend...
Wishing you a beautiful weekend to enjoy. Going to start warming up again to melt the snow and ice that has wreaked havoc for us. Finally got steady power back on but still without water so melting snow for flushing and boiling water. Be nice to get a hot shower again.When I was a kid we took sponge baths all the time because we didn't have a tub or shower. You can always make do. Have a great weekend my friend.....George
We are one of the lucky ones with electricity back on, haven't lost water, and no broken pipes. However, we are only 26 this mid Friday morning. I still have lots of friends with no water or boil water advisory. Most, not all, have electricity. So many businesses, hotels, and homes with broken pipes. Store shelves are empty and gas stations are too. Trucks have not been able to get here to refill anything.
We were above freezing a degree or two yesterday with the sun which started snow melting. Then got to 15 last night which has made the roads icy. The sun is shining today and by Monday we are hoping the snow will be gone. We have so much to be thankful for today!
So I thought I would share with you some of our fun pictures. Hope you can view the links and I anxiously await your responses.
We lost electricity early Monday morning about 2:30 am and went 14 hours without any. At about 36 hours we had only had maybe 5 hours of power. Now we are in rolling blackouts but the entire time we have been able to stay warm. However, a cousin in Arlington has had no electricity since early Monday morning, as do hundreds of thousands of people in Texas. My friend in Alice, near Corpus Christi, not only hasn't had electricity since early Monday morning, but now they have no water as the pumps are out and are supposed to boil water (with no electricity). Needless to say...
Again, we are OK right now. But please keep people all over in your prayers because so many are hurting from pipes bursting and destroying their homes, from homes catching on fire and dying from carbon monoxide poisoning (I think 18 children were admitted yesterday).
Our area has had around 6-8" of snow and most businesses are closed. There are warming stations set up all around. As the power will let me, I will read your messages as they cheer me up.
Stay warm and take good care of yourself and check on your neighbors. Blessings & Hugs!
We had sun for the firs tifme in a week or more. Near 70 too but rain is coming back again tonite. I hear you have lots of cold and snow - I guess I'll take the rain but not this much!!! Mardi Gras is here - hope you ate your sweets today! Hugs, Wendy
Still raining here - so sick of it - the ground is just a soggy mess. had to go out to get the dog her meds and some treats. Also filled up the car with gas. Made chicken stew for dinner - a good dinner for this weather. Have a good new week. Hugs, Wendy
