Winter White....

It has been several years since we have had this much ICE! The sleet keeps falling, not snow, sleet!

I was hoping we could at least have a bit of snow but at this point nada. The good thing about it though is that here in Bartlesville it has been nothing but sleet. You see at first I couldn't figure out what the difference in sleet and freezing rain was.. then it hit me. Sleet if frozen when it falls therefore it doesn't stick to the power lines and trees as easily as rain that falls then freezes. My mom doesn't have power at her house and has had to travel into town -she lives in the country-to stay in a motel. They are stranded in town now becasue they got hit with another round of the icy stuff.
My brother and his wife went to Tulsa Friday to spend the day with the baby in NICU and got iced in and had to get a room there. They are still there and stuck until at least Monday.

Ernie and I were able to get out yesterday for the day.. We went to Wal-Mart and then to my Grandparents and spent the day helping them remodel the bathroom. Today all the churches canceled services and we have just been hanging out here at home! I'm loving it. In fact I think I'm going to go make some coco and snuggle up with my hubby!

Well God Bless! Keep warm and remember to tell those you love that you love them!
