I’m guessing they did since he probably had to take an ambulance since he has no car. Hubby goes and gets him for church. We haven’t heard anything else since that call that I know of.

A very pleasant good Tuesday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks Lauren for this morning's thread.

How's everyone doing this morning?

I’m glad he was able to get help. He sure didn’t need to be left at the house with such a serious issue going on. It would have just gotten worse.
I hope y’all hear from him tomorrow so you’ll know how he’s doing.

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Glad to see you haven’t lost power like so many people have.
I imagine you have to force poor Gizmo out the door to take care of his business. Who wants to potty in the cold? LOL

I figured she’d want in before much longer. LOL
Poor little girlie having to deal with Ginger in her face. I hope she’s in the bathroom now so she can relax.

Yes, there alone with no power and not enough bed covers. We gave him some, but I’m sure it wasn’t enough. He has lots of health issues, too, and I hope he’ll be all right. He has kids living in central Texas, but they want nothing to do with him. Sadly.

Yep, this looks to be the worst of the cold this morning. Right now it's -6. Gizmo did go outside to do his business. He actually seemed more eager then I was to go out.

I did do some snow shoveling work yesterday. Gizmo of course wanted to be in the picture.

This is how the driveway looks after all of the work:

We'll see how today goes. There is more snow in the forecast.

A rough position for him to be in. At least he has friends he can call on for help but this time the weather just wasn’t going to allow your hubby to be there for him.

Brrrrr...looks very cold. Stay warm and stay safe. Hope you don’t lose power like 4M+ have in Texas!

Silly pooch must have a little Huskey or St. Bernard in his genetic makeup. LOL

Whew, my bum back screams at seeing how much shoveling you did. How much Icy Hot or Aspercreme have you used since then? :-)

Yes, one more round of snow coming through. It isn’t going to snow in our area, thank goodness but northern TN will get a dose. We’ll be warm enough to just get rain.

It is rough. One of our friends works in the heart monitor room at the hospital and said he’s on a monitor right now. So...stroke or heart attack? We’re not sure.

Li’l Bit is in. The bad news is that she strutted in while I had my hands full with her fresh water. Now we can’t find her. LOL! I think we sort of know where she is in the living room and I hope hubby finds her before Ginger does. That will be a rude awakening...and I’m going to bed very soon. I’m really sleepy tonight for some reason. I think watching Steve’s stream of bad news here in Texas has worn me out. LOL!

See ya maƱana!

Ah, so you managed to get a little update on him. At least you have some idea of what’s going on and know he’s ok for the time being. It’s a really good thing an ambulance was able to get to him.

You still haven’t gotten Li’l Bit into the bathroom? Uh oh. Could be exciting before long.

That was a long stream, no doubt. At least they’re slowly getting power back on but there’s a long way to go. They’ve gotten it under 4 million at this point.

There are outages in the counties bordering us on the north and west. Almost 100 out in our county and I assume that’s on the mountain at Sewanee. The mountains “look like Russia” with 2 inches of ice hanging off trees and powerlines according to the Republican women’s president. She lives up there behind the military museum and said it’s a mess.

We are so grateful for our good luck.

Sleep well. Let’s hope for good news out of TX in the morning.

Yep...it's still frozen tundra here.
So far, we have our electricity.
Prayers for those who don't.
Won't start warming up till Friday.
I know the whole country is a mess.
Anyhoooo....on that cheerful note
Y'all have a Terrific Tuesday!
...and stay warm!
((((hugs))))
