Just checking in. Yep. It was a mess down here. Coldest darn weather I've ever lived through. I was lucky and kept my power on and was able to cook and keep icebox items fresh. I did run very low on groceries. I ate some very creative meals - which I do not intend to ever repeat.
My water was off for three days but I had lots of bottled water to drink so no problem there. However, as many hurricanes as I have lived through, I did not remember to fill my tub with water. Just absolutely forgot about it until too late. It was nasty to have no water for the toilet. After the first break of sunshine, I went out and scooped water out of the street and broke off icicles to fill the toilet. I still have leaves and dirt that are sneaking through from the tank to the toilet bowl. Ha. That is a sight that will scare you.
Lots of funny comments to share about our dear Texas elected officials. I'll be back with you soon.
Glad to hear you made it through. Thanks for letting your blog fans know.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you are doing fine. Hope you don't get hit with one of those massive power bills.
ReplyDeleteI was worried about you. Even asked on a post if anyone heard from you.so glad you are well and relatively unscathed!!! Good news.
ReplyDeleteYou’ve been on my mind, Barbara. I am glad to here you didn’t lose power. You were creative about the toilet water for sure. Take care.

ReplyDeleteBeen wondering how you fared the snowmageddon. So glad you kept power and hope you didn't get one of those killer bills for it.
ReplyDeleteWe were in the negatives here also but kept our power and water. Feeling grateful.
Glad you came through okay!
ReplyDeleteWhat a disaster you guys faced in Texas. We here in AZ are enjoying the good life. I tell my kid time and time again to stock up on water but they don't listen or believe it could happen to them. Glad you're okay and on the upside.
ReplyDeleteThis was definitely one for the books! We are still without water...UGH! Plumber called today to let us know we are on their schedule for tomorrow...fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteA friend emailed me something along the lines of, '2020 - the year from hell. 2021 - the year hell froze over.' LOL
WOW! What you went through, how you managed. I want to be next to you in the apocalypse.
