Totally Snowed

The "Snowpocolyps" of 2012 looks like it's finally over. 3 days of snow,rain and ice making dangerous messes of the roads and freezing trees to their breaking point causing power to be out. We sat in the quiet listening to trees snap and fall all around us,checking on neighbors all the while to make sure they were prepared,this place was like a war zone! We really roughed it,not 30 minutes later the guys had the generator up and running. I started a batch of soup as Vern ran around gathering candles,gas and other supplies as we were told to prepare for a 3-4 day outage. We were happily surprised when the power came back on just hours later! Buuuut with the cable and internet still out we snuggled in for the storm. We watched movies played cards,cleaned house and cooked goodies trying to avoid boredom as our apparent addiction to technology reared it's ugly head....oh good times.

Now everything is melting,creating a town full of sudden lake front property. The cable and internet finally came on tonight...we were delighted as Vern got to watch a favorite show before bed and I was able to log in and get some much needed work done on my virtual ranch! Oh what have we become?! Ha ha. BUT IN MY OWN DEFENSE...I will  be extra thankful in my prayers, for all the luxuries and comforts we enjoy and appreciative of the opportunity to be reminded and grateful for them ;)
