The Ice Man Cometh...

We went to visit Alex last weekend and had a wonderful visit. He is suppose to be heading off to England soon but has yet received his orders. It is hard on him because he is like in limbo. He needs to get rid (sell) his car and there is a lot of "STUFF" in his apartment that needs to be dealt with. He is suppose to report to Mendanhall AFB on Feb. 28th yet he does not have his orders. Needless to say this is driving him crazy.

While there the news was talking about a Ice Storm coming and it was going to hit Monday in the AM. We were either going to stay until Wednesday or leave early Monday. We decided to leave early Monday at 5:45am and we were ahead of the storm by about 2 hours. Going through Conway Arkansas we hit some Ice and all of us on the highway slowed down and drove very carefully. We had some Ice build up on the corners of the windshield but I had the heater on and not the defroster (Lesson Learned) it was coming down as rain but freezing as soon as it hit.

You can see Tuesday we spent the day INSIDE and it rained and froze for a good portion of the day. We never lost power (Thank You Lord) and did not suffer any ill effects at all. It is raining right now and should turn to snow at any time. The weather man out here is for the most part pretty right in as far as timing of the storms so that's kind of neat... Take Care and write when you can! We miss you all and hope to see some of you this summer.

Sorry I can not believe that we have not written on the blog since New Years Day. OOPPSS
Well as most of you know we sold our motor home. Lee also sold the truck and purchased a new 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD 4x4 Duramax Diesel with 6 speed Allison transmission. His name is Max. Now we start looking for a fifth wheel.
Busy busy I am so happy were are retired.
Lee is down the hill checking into a hitch. What kind, price etc.
Brianna still has not heard anything from the TRC in Smyrna.
Once we get everything I will try and get Lee to post pictures.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

Sorry I know I have not posted for a while. I have been busy doing all the Christmas stuff. I hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year. We made it to 12:20. We started the day taking down the Christmas decoration. Most of that is done. The tree and ornaments do not come down till New Years Day. Bad luck you know....hehehe. Last night I made homemade beer bread pizza. OMG it was fantastic!!! Then we got on the web cam and talked with our RV Net friends from California. Then we watched Mummy one and two. We will have to watch Mummy 3 today because it was getting to late last night. At 11:40 we put on the Dick Clark's countdown had our toast of Sprakling apple cidar and then off to bed. No hang over today...
Do you know what year it is. I bet you say the year of the OX. NO!! It is the year of the Shelia. I will be turning 60 this year and I have made it the year of the Shelia. HEHEHE.....
Wishing you happiness and health in 2009.
May the Lord Bless you and yours.
We love you all!!!!

Is that better Caroline in the City....?
