Ice and friend

I finally was able to get ahold of our friends in KY today. Phew.....

Rhoda said yesterday her power was finally back on. She lives near the airport and I guess that is one area they worked on first. Once people heard she and her in-laws (live right next to each other) had power the people starting coming over for showers, stoves, etc. She also got cell phone service back.

She said while the ice is beautiful to look at it sure has done so much damage.

Her grandson who is 5 (maybe closer to 6) was so happy when he heard his Nano has water and power. He walked in the house saying ..."I am tired, cold and hungry...feed me" LOL He is a character.

Her kids were still waiting for their power and such to come back on and it sounded like it could be quite a while before it did.

She was telling me about a story of an older gentleman who the authorities went to evacuate (mandatory) but he would not go. I guess he told them he was old, dying of cancer and he was not leaving his house. I guess they fought with him for quite a while and finally left him. They were to check back on him daily. Sad.......

Joe and I went to Cuero today and had lunch with our young friend Brice. We also went to see his step dad and mom's new loft apartment. It still is not done but kinda neat. When they are done they are going to have a bar b que. Woo hoo that will be fun!!

Joe is working the next 3 nights at South West General.

He also has his nuclear test (muga scan) on Monday. I think I read that it will take 2-3 hrs, but that could be wrong.

Hope every one is having a good weekend.
