SNOW DAY!

What we've got here is a SNOW DAY! Yeah! Indiana was covered in a sheet of ice last night and this morning. It is so beautiful! BUT! It is so scary too. Family members and friends had to endure the dangers to get to work including my momma! We are due to have even more snow, ice, and rain starting this afternoon so I am especially concerned about her ride home from work. Larry even got the day off because the roads are so bad. This is only the second time they have closed since he has worked there. They even went the year we had 22 inches of snow! I too have the day off which is very nice. Shelby County is officially under a snow emergency and only emergency vehicles are allowed on the roads.
We have gone thru and made sure that in the event of a power outage we are covered and even informed the neighbors and family and friends here in Waldron to come over here if the town goes out. We have a wood burning stove in the garage that will keep us warm. We have a gas stove we can cook with. AND we have a Culligan water dispenser to drink from. For sleeping conditions, if need be, we have kerosene heaters and we will happily open our home and section off a room or two so that our loved ones will be taken care of. :)
I have been in rare form this morning and to be honest, I'm driving Larry crazy. HAHAHAHA! I've busted out in free concert performing Vanilla Ice's Ice, Ice Baby. I've become a comedian out of nowhere that seems to only crack me up! LOL! It's safe to say he's wishing he went to work. :)
My prayers are for you if you must be out in these terrible conditions. Please remember, Firefighters, Police Officers, Doctors, Nurses, Plow Drivers, Power Company Employees, and others do not get to take days such as these off. Please pray for their safety as they are out taking care of us and our loved ones. Please pray for their families as they are home without them. Their families are heros as well giving up their loved ones for the day(s), just so they can continue their heroic jobs.

I've included a couple of pictures of Papa's Maple tree covered from this first round of ice. Isn't it pretty?! I hope this blog finds you all doing well. Thanks for checking in!

Love,

Jenn
