Good morning, ladybugs. We have been without power for almost 3 days. Luckily we have friends who have power. They live so close to us that I can actually see the back of my house from theirs! Can't walk there though because a lagoon separates us.This is probably the worst storm our area has seen! It is totally shut down and to make matters worse a double storm is headed our way-one tomorrow, one friday. I know now what you midwesterers are going through!
Looking outside reminds me of the frozen tundra!
So our big worry now is pipes it is 42 degrees in our house this morning. DH thinks he can find a gas heater to put in there and that might help. He's out looking for it right now. I feel so sorry for the many people who don't have power and have no place to go. On top of that most people in our area lost cable, too, so they weren't able to watch the super bowl. No cable here, but our friend has a little tv that has antennae, it only gets 4 stations. Luckily, one was CBS so we were able to watch the game__speaking of which- -I won the pool! (Yes I won last year too) I predicted 48 pts with saints being the winner. Just a lucky guess!so I am 30 dollars richer! Lol
Guess I am forced to take it easy while here, TV,read,rest, plus I can get a little exercise later on my friend's treadmill.
Please keep those who are w!o power . Esp sick and elderly- in your prayers.



Glad you are cozy at your friends, but still it's not like being at home, is it?!
Sure hate that you don't have that power on yet at your house!
Hi Shari,
The storms everywhere this year are so harsh. I really do hope your power is restored today and stays on through this next storm headed your way. Are there shelters set up for folks who aren't blessed with close friends?
Hugs,
Melissa
Shari, so glad you were able to check in. Good to know you got friends so close.
Other than the cold and snow and worry about frozen pipes it does not sound as if you had it so bad, Shari! LOL This is a terrible winter!
Were you sleeping over at your friend's home? Was your DH able to locate a fuel heater? It would be such a shame if your pipes froze.!!!!
You won the pool - again?!!!!
