Hello all just a word to let you know I am alive . We got almost 2 feet of snow here last night . I had a tree fall on my house and one fell on my friends car and flattened it , I fill so bad because she came out here to help me out so I am looking for a car for her . I had no electric from 9:00 Pm till &:00 AM , and guess what I have electric heat. I just closed all the interior doors and lit candles and oil lamps for heat . I managed to keep four adults and four kids warm all night needless to say I got no sleep . I sat down at about 3:00 today and that did it I went out like a light for about 2 hours. My next door neighbor cut the tree up and off of my friends car I gave him the wood for his wood burner . Thing is he needed it to because he is about out of fire wood. My Pygmy goat was scared to death because a branch broke and hit his box he lives in I had my hubby and daughter go out to comfort him but he head butted them trying to get to the house.I would have let him in but he smells real bad right now.LOL. My little dog hid under the bed which he never does and the kids started to panic when the trees started to fall I tried to keep them calm till they fell asleep, How ever there were four people here with the stomach flu and no running water ,I always keep water jugs for this reason and fill them .My fear was that I could not do my class work and I was in a tizzy. Thank god for electric I got out my power genny today and have gas to run it so if we loose it again tonight we will be warmer.Just in case it will not start I have my stuff ready from last night we are to get more snow tonight and my daughter says it is supposed to be 6-18 inches GOD I hope not . I will let you know if we survive when I can . Good luck to everyone in my place.
