Today my girls are heading back to school after a week of playing in the snow, a week of not much electricity and a weekend of Birthday fun. But some schools aren't open because of water damage from busted pipes. There are still people without power and without water. However, we were 74 yesterday and the snow has melted. A cool front came through and we started at 30 but we will only be mid 60's today.
What a fun weekend for my youngest grand, as Michelle turned 12. Above is Michelle and Nicole at Obstacle Warrior Kids. They played dodgeball with the younger kids, ran obstacle courses, and climbed walls. What fun to know they are in great shape and to watch them compete with each other.
We are uncovering our plants today but not looking forward to rain this week as we have water standing everywhere from the snow melt. We are also hoping that the shelves are stocked enough that we can find a few things on our grocery list today. Don't forget to share your smile!
good evening,thank you for all your comments and messages while i have been off nearly a week,but most of all your friendship...always be safe,you never know what's gonna happen...wishing you a wonderful night filled with happiness and God Bless my friend
good morning...hope all is well in your world. sun is shining bright here today, the birds are singing...and not so cold. hopefully that's a sign all of this really bad winter weather is done reaking havok on this country. my thoughts and prayers go out to people in texas who are suffering . i wish you a day of happiness and peace...mk
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.
All hugs are welcomed as they keep me warm. Stay warm and take good care of yourself and check on your neighbors. Blessings & Hugs!

snowing like crazy since 8 AM and wind blowing hard so it is
falling sideways! supposed to stop sometime then start again late
afternoon and go into Monday.
Stubby was on porch at 8 AM and ate some canned cat food I gave him
then disappeared again.. think under the house. Ole Yeller showed up at 11:30 AM
and left ..Havent seen Squeaky or Fuzzy Face yet.
Cant believe the birds are at feeders! the wind is blowing the handing tube feeders
and the hanging platforms too and they are riding them like on a yard swing!
Put seed out late afternoon yday so they had stuff to eat this AM but looks almost gone now.
Will wait to see if snow stops then will try to get out and refill feeders. Looks like several
inches on ground already..supposed to get 6 to 8 inches weather says. Hope it isnt icy as well.
Made big skillet of sausage and gravy and mashed potatoes yday but forgot about it this morning and ate donuts instead that Judy;s girl sent me for Valentines Day from pastry
shop she manages in town 20 mi away,. so far she hasn;t missed any work from bad roads.
