Alive and Well

Apparently, the weather in our area has hit the national news. Since we don't have any TV reception, we didn't know. Also since we are new to ice storms, we just assumed this was normal and dealt with it. At any rate, the little town of Westville (just up the road from us) is completely out of power and dealing with downed trees and power lines. However, we have been spared any of these problems (so far). We had a mist like rain for a day and a half which has made our yard and driveway icy. We parked our work car in the garage to keep it safe, but it needed gas. We intended to take the work truck up to the gas station this morning, but had to chisel it out of its ice shield first. This took a couple of hours!

We have a TON of pictures to share with you and I hope to be able to take the time VERY SOON! I have attempted three times to post a few pictures, to no avail. I will try again another day.

Oh, Franklins, it is so good to hear from you! So glad all is well -- at least, warm! We pray for you often and hope to be able to see you sometime soon. God bless you and keep you warm! You are doing a great work -- only eternity will show what God has worked in your family during this season.

It is so good to see your post and it was great to talk to y'all on the phone.

Glad you made through the ice storm alright. We got our power back a few hours ago.

Hope to see everyone soon!
