WINTER WONDERLAND
WELL, WE CERTAINLY HAVE A WINTER WONDERLAND HERE. WE HAD FREEZING RAIN FROM LATE SUNDAY UNTIL JUST AFTER SUPPER TUESAY. AS A RESULT, WE HAD MOST OF THE COUNTY WITHOUT POWER. OUR POWER WENT OUT AT 8:30 PM ON MONDAY AND DID NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL ABOUT 1:30 PM. ON TUESDAY. BUT WE ARE LUCKY SOME PLACES WILL BE THE WEEKEND BEFORE THEIR POWER IS RESTORED. THE ONE SAVING GRACE WAS THAT WE DID NOT HAVE ANY WIND. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A REAL DISASTER. AS IT WAS, WE LOST A HUGE TREE LIMB AND IT DEMOLISHED ONE OF MY REALLY EXPENSIVE PLANT HOLDERS AND AN ORNAMENTAL TREE. OH, WELL, THAT’S MOTHER NATURE! THE BOYS HAD NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY AND I HAD THEM. THEY HAD NO SCHOOL TUESDAY BUT THE MUM DID NOT HAVE WORK SO THEY STAYED WITH HER. TODAY THEY HAVE SCHOOL BUT THE LITTLE GUY IS SICK SO I HAVE HIM FOR THE DAY. IT SEEMS THAT EVERY WEEK I HAVE THEM FOR AT LEAST ONE FULL DAY. THIS REALLY MESSES UP MY SCHEDULE. WELL, TOMORROW IS MY BIG DAY WITH THE PLASTIC SURGEON TO HAVE THE FILLERS DONE. I AM EXCITED AND NERVOUS. NOT TOO KEEN ABOUT THE NEEDLES BUT THAT’S THE WAY IT’S DONE. HE SAYS THEY DON’T HURT BECAUSE THEY ARE SO FINE. I’LL LET YOU KNOW. I HAVE TAKEN SOME BEFORE PICS AND I WILL GET AFTER PICS BUT HE SAID IT’S TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE FULL EFFECTS ARE IN PLACE. I WILL NOTICE CHANGE RIGHT AWAY BUT IT WILL BECOME MORE EVIDENT EACH DAY.NOT MUCH HAPPENING TODAY., SOME HOUSEWORK, SOME READING, A FEW ERRANDS IF THE LITTLE GUY IS UP TO IT. I MIGHT WORK ON MY KNITTING OR RUG HOOKING.I AM COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS TIL MY CRUISE. I AM TANNING AND STARTING TO GET BROWN. YEAH!!WELL, GOTTA GET DRESSED TO TAKE THE KIDS OUT, ONE TO SCHOOL, ONE WITH ME. SO EVERYONE HAVE A SUPER DAY. DEBBIE

How well I remember those Maritime snow storms!! You really got hit, I hate it when there is freezing rain. Glad you got your power back.
Have a good one & can\'t wait to see the before and after shots!

EEERRR, I hate it when I do that!!!
I just read a sentence in a Dean Koontz book discribing Mother nature as being bi-polar, think that\'s a pretty good one.
We\'re not doing as bad as you, so far, but I did get the pleasure of driving into Homer yesterday morning to do my monthly shopping in the freezing rain.
Then it cleared up last night and I had foolish hopes I\'d be able to start work on the new chicken coop today but woke to snow, not sure how long that will last or how much we\'ll get.
