Dreamflower's Mathom-house

I just had two phone calls.

The first one was from the Payne County Emergency Center to tell me that the storm we've been expecting is on the way, and to stay home and off the roads.

The second one was from the DH, who is at work in Tulsa, to tell that-- as we had figured-- he is unlikely to be home before Wednesday. The nursing home will put staff up there. Of course he wanted to make sure I was OK. And I am right now, because so far nothings happening.

But they expect it to. So if I vanish off the face of the earth sometime in the next 24 hours, it's the weather and the power and cable being out.

OTOH, hope springs eternal, and I will keep my fingers crossed that that won't happen. And I am in for a very long and boring 60 or so hours all by myself.

I just had snow ice cream for the first time in my life!

Oh! It is SO good!

These pictures were taken the day after Christmas by my husband on his cellphone. I'm experimenting with using LJ Scrapbook, which I've never done before.

My son and I had a lot of fun making this snowman: ( Read more... )

We have electricity--and internet!!

Yaay!

I'm going out to a church pot-luck tonight, but when I get home, I'm going to celebrate by posting some Christmas-y pics that danae_b uploaded for me a few days ago!

I'm so glad it's back on now--we are supposed to be in for snow and an even colder cold snap this weekend, but thankfully, no more ice storms in the forecast!

(((((((hugs to everyone!)))))))

Last night there was a bad ice storm round where Barbara lives, and her power is still out this morning. We don't know when she'll be back. Luckily, they have gas heat, which means they have warm water, heating for the house - so no one has to worry that she and her husband will freeze to death.

I'll keep you all posted.

Thanks to danachan for her help in getting these loaded, I now have pics to show you of our new home.

All that white stuff?

It's not snow.

It's ice.
