BREAKING NEWS

HELP!!!!
Rolling blackouts, driveway impassible, icy roads, cold, cold and more cold.
I've lived in Texas for 35 years, what the hell heck is a rolling blackout?
Only heard of them  in New York or California.
GEEZ!!!
Spent most of the day without power, lot of good all that canned stuff
does ya without the means to warm it!
Where's the wood stove?
Barricaded ourselves in the house, put on lots of clothing, am at the computer (finally) wearing a long sleeved shirt, sweater, hooded coat, fingerless gloves and three pairs of socks plus house shoes and I'm still cold!
Last weekend high 70's.
I would rather be hot than cold.
Hope I make it.
At least I have quilts on the bed!!!

Where Has All The Laundry Gone, Long Time Passing!!!

SO...

When life things happen to me, my mind usually goes to a song.
Such as,
Where Have All The Flowers Gone by Peter, Paul & Mary.
That's where my mind went today when I ventured outside to retrieve my laundry off the line.
I hung it out late yesterday afternoon.
I said to myself, it will be Ok till tomorrow. I pegged it down really well,
I swear!
Well, today was very, very windy.
I guess you know where this is going.
Where has all the laundry gone?
Sheets, quilts, pillowcases.
M.I.A.
I thought about taking a photo but I didn't want ya'll to see how tall my
grass weeds are.
If it wasn't for the tall grass weeds,
 my laundry would be in Walker Creek!
Reminder to self, you live on a hill, out in the country, in Texas, it's windy!!!!

Hope ya'll have a happy and bountiful Thanksgiving.

Till next time,
Bonjour
