BTW, We're about to lose power here in Comanche. I don't know if you read the story but our power will go off in less than three hours.

If all goes well, we should have power back by later this evening.

Who can turn down free food? d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Glad everyone is on the road to recovery. Did you get snow today?

[Arrowhead1952]

Sorry I am late today, but I have been to the dentist, the vet getting the dog spayed and just finished aerating the lawn.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Boy oy boy...you’ve had a busy day. Do you have snow too?

[Arrowhead1952]

No, it finally hit 50 here about two hours ago. I heard the DFW area has over 12” of global warming today.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Anymore 100th anniversary celebrations? Any more snow? Just heard on the radio that the panhandle of Florida got snow, thus all 50 states now have snow.
