Today cousin Lee stepped in the house....... I said "Lee! You been all over the country and no where to go?!" He came back with "makes me wonder why anyone would want to live here." He had tried to get to work --- one mile to the east of us. But the roads are once again plugged with snow. I can't hardly recall ----- Saturday I got stuck in the morning and there was no church on Sunday. Then on Monday the roads got cleaned out.....but Monday night the wind blew and blew and the roads were plugged AGAIN. I had a hair appointment Tuesday at 1:00 and wanted to get to town very badly!!!!---sick of this long mane!! Well - by noon I was able to get out.....I did have to wait for a semi that was having troubles and there were two road graders working to get the roads passable - but I made it to town on time.
Gary had Consistory meeting at 7:00 but the wind was going at it again and already drifting things shut. The men couldn't get to church --- so the meeting was canceled. GUESS WHAT --- this morning --- Wednesday---- we are plugged up again. That's why Lee was just plain sick of winter. He tried every which direction to get out of here and not one of them worked. Have to wait for a tractor to come and clean things out a bit. But HEY --- the sun is shining --- it's a beautiful day.....only -11 degrees......no wind - YET ---- tomorrow they are predicting 40 mph!! And tomorrow is our Release Time day -- preparing for it --- but doubting we will have it.
HOWEVER, we have food, we have electricity, we have warmth......lots to be thankful for!!! Oh yeah -- we have each other -but you know --------- sometimes you'd rather look at someone else for a while :) :)
Oh and for you western lovers ---- as I came home I met Scott T. leading his cows home. I figured I would just wait it out but he said --- "get to the other side of the road and keep moving past them or they will stop"....so I did. They were strung out for at least half a mile.....Scott in the lead and Deon bringing up the rear...2 pickup cowboys. These were probably his old cows and they knew they were going home and just wanted to get there!!!
Your update for today!
Lots of Love!
