My husband is the kind of person that he LOVES snow! He would love to have a foot or more of sno at one time! Not ice ... but snow! Well, we got this Winter Weather Advisory thing going on Monday afternoon ... we have had them several time before this winter with nothing! So, I was not too excited about this one passing through. Well, boy was I mistaken! We go to bed on Monday night ... and we get up on Tuesday morning to this ...
Lots and Lots of ICE! Well, it kept sleeting through out the day on Tuesday and then they were calling for more sleet for Tueday night and then for it to change over in to snow on Wednesday.
I had gotten up that morning and fixed Bacon, scrambled eggs, & toast for everyone and got that mess cleaned up. I had also fixed a huge pot of Vegetable soup & a pan of cornbread and an Angel food cake so that just in case the electric was to go out ... we would atleast have something to eat. Well, we made it till about 3:00 PM and the electric went out. We stayed here with a propane heater that Gordon uses for camping until after 8:00.
We give up ... our neighbors across the street and next door had electric but we did not! We just all got ready and wentnt to the Pastor's house ... we knew they would have heat atleast. We got there and lo and behold they had electric too! So, we stayed up until about midnight and played Pictionary Man ... we played on teams ... "THE OLD FOGIES" ... agianst the "Young Blood" ... take a guess who won ... YEAH the old people won! It was Bro. Tim & Sis. Lisa ... with Gordon & Myself as one team playing agianst Bro. Caleb, Bro. Zach & Bro. Nathan.
Through the night the electric went out ... I could not sleep with all the racket, so I went to the van and slept there for about 2 hours ... went back in the house and layed back down on the couch. Anyhow ... it did not sleet anymore it simply rained all night long! When we all got up this morning it had started snowing within a few minutes we were covered over. The flakes we sooo big! It was beautiful!
So, we spent the entire day with The Shirley Family because we still had no electric. Gordon nor I either one have been able to go to work this week so far. Lucky for me ... my normal day off is tomorrow! Anyhow ... it is 24 degrees but we are back home with the electric furnace and all the lights and all the computer a humming ... making that electric meter go around so fast it could be slicing cheese!
Hope you all have had a wonderful week!
