The storm had stop, the one good thing about this storm ( if you can call a storm good,) was that it didn't get on the roads, and you could still get around. So My husband, went back to work, and I kept the home fires burning . to pass the time, I took pictures, read my bible more , then I had been, and went for walks , to check on mom,

One Day everyone left for the day, and the lights came on. so I walked down to see how thing were at mom's , and on my way back , the sheriff drove up with the National Guard, checking on everyone in our county.
they were checking to see if we needed any thing , before the next storm got here! That was a first for me. Then the power went off again! we had it for 2 hours, when everyone came home , that nite , I don't think they believed me, when I told them what had happen that day!


well the other storm did hit , and hard but it was snow and it covered the ground fast ,
but it didn't last long ,
on the day that power came one , I went to bed and covered up my head , I had had enough!

but the power did come on , and we have a lot to be thankful for , the waterlines still work,
we had wood heat!
well now it is clean up time, and get ready for the next one , they say is coming in Feb.


Thank you for going with me on my journey,
Blessings to you all!

    Maybe we all need a storm like that to make us appreciate our electricity and heat!

  7. Dear Jel..These pictures look like scenes from a science fiction movie.

    So nice that you kept a good eye on your mom and so nice that the sheriff and the National Guard cared so much too.

    I never realized that you were going through so much trouble.
    All I KNEW is that everybody missed you!!...Love Terry
