but believe me it's not, it's pure ice! Our neighbors tree just split and is blocking the street. Hubby cleared the walk but it is covered again. Tree limbs are cracking and falling all over the place. We had to pull one off the roof because it was laying across a power line. We just got the power back on, sure don't want to lose it!!!! 
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 ;-)
She always went by the name Maxine. She was one of my mother's younger sister's. I didn't get to know my aunt Maxine very well because we lived in Kansas and she lived in Iowa when I was a child. She died at the young age of 56. Her and her husband, Carl, had four children, Bobby, Larry, Sharon and Jimmy. Sharon became one of my best friends a few years ago after I moved to Arkansas and found her living in Missouri with her husband,Jim. We have had some good times digging up our family genealogy...
at one time a few years ago, it makes me think that cats are much easier to take care of. With my cats, I can leave anytime I want and all I have to do is make sure there is water and food for them. And, oh yeah, clean cat boxes are a must! They get in such a routine! They want to do the same thing every day at the same time! I've never had cats before and didn't know the joy they could bring you. So for now I think we will just stick to cats, but I still think Max is pretty special. I know he is because he belongs to real special lady. Good night Max...
Each year we all go to my mother's for
On Monday morning before Christmas I woke up early (about 4:30) with the "FLU" !!! Yes, the FLU!
With all the Christmas
