I liked the bit about holding your finger on the way out to the car...she trusts you. That's a hugely important part of loving an adult...
Hey, it got chilly here overnight...only 53o at lunch-time...how's it in West Texas?

WEll, right now we are in Oklahoma City, taking care of hubby’s mom.
In West Texas it is about 44 degrees. HERE on the other hand, it is in the 40s but expecting a blizzard tonight. I
had to buy a coat, as I didn’t bring one with me. LOL!
We will be here till Sunday morning. Hopefully, the snow
will be melting by then. If not, it’s gonna be a long slow
drive part of the way home.
Kids are coming over here tomorrow for a visit. Hopefully
it won’t be too slick!

Thanks, Arrowhead...((HUGS))...for getting breakfast out, even with all the damage you sustained.
Yikes! That is quite a list of damage...roofers and vent fixers are gonna be really busy. And the poor cars! Lots of glass damage I’m guessing, as well as dents.

Actually we only have a LOT of dents in the vehicles. The only glass is one cracked mirror. Of course, it is one that has the LED turn signal in the lens.
