Thank you, Canada!

Thank you for that cold front we got that saved this person from a meltdown.

I hope you folks are all okay out there. We got power back for 3 hours on Sunday, then it disappeared. We just now got it back again, but I'm not counting on it.

The hunt for gas and ice was on yesterday. I admit I am really spoiled, and not a great hunter/gatherer. Our home is fine, we lost a few shrubs, we have the basics, and each other. The neighborhood is a mess, but so is the rest of Houston.

I am so glad that's over with, and thanks to Canada, I'm hoping the gulf cooled off enough to deter any other storms this year.

1. Hang in there babylonsister!

Are you able to take any pictures? I would try to document the ordeal if I could. I know you are getting power on and off, but you're our media out there right now.

Hope your power is back to permanent.

2. Hi, Sonia. I did take a few pics from my house, but

didn't want to be a voyeur to others' misery. I haven't downloaded them yet, but when I do, I will post a few.

I hope the power is permanent, too. I just went to turn on the stove, and had this huge grin because I didn't have to ignite it. It's the little things, and I've already admitted I'm spoiled, but I am so glad we have gas appliances, including the water heater. They came in handy.
