ICE STORM...


We are still having the ice storm and will have until 6AM on Wednesday morning. Our lights went out about 7:30 AM, just as we were leaving to go to work. The roads were not as bad as I thought they would be and we made it just find. Only saw two cars in the ditch. When we got to my place of work, only two people had made it in. The opening manager said she was not going to stay open very long and if I wanted to go home it was OK. I really didn't want to stay because hubby was taking the car and I was afraid I would be stranded when and if they closed up so we took off for home. When we got back to our little town it was all dark so we slowly drove into the next town and went to breakfast at McDonalds. Hubby really wanted to see if any of his coffee buddies was there, which being smarter than we are, they were not. As we pasted Wal-Mart hubby asked if I wanted to stop and walk around instead of going home to a empty dark house. I think he just wanted to check out the McD's there for more of his coffee buddies :-) After getting home and checking on my mother and aunt, who was without heat our lights came on about noon. So here I am like most of our towns around me, sitting at the PC and blogging. I did take some pictures outside of my old "Welcome Goose" with ice coming off her bill. The walk and old red deck is covered with ice and you can hear the ice in the trees cracking. I just hope the trees don't crack or it will be me cracking ;-)
