The ice storm

Me and Mommy this morning.

Mommy and the thin twin, Marquette.

We had a really bad ice storm. We were without power from really early Friday morning until after midnight that night. Our house stayed warm and Mommies had the gas fireplace on whenever they were home. Mommy Bonnie brought Steak 'n Shake home for her and Mommy.

Both of my mommies made it to work on Friday even though there was a Level 2 emergency. Mommy said the library should have been closed on Friday and that all fines on materials due that day should have been cancelled. Mommy Bonnie told Mommy to be careful about expressing her opinions. Mommy said she is almost 61 years old and she will express her opinions if she wants to. See...Mommy Bonnie is in management and Mommy Kathy isn't, so they look at these things from two different perspectives.

There was tree damage at the farm and some significant damage to the camper at the campground from falling limbs. You may check out http://blossomridgefarm.blogspot.com/ for photos of the damage. Mommies have to go back to the campground Wed. and, with the help of our neighbor, Denny, will attempt to remove the limbs from the top of the camper and cover the hole in the roof so snow melt and rain won't get into the camper. No chance of snow melt today. It is only 2 degrees and the wind chill is between -15 and -30 degrees depending on the gusts. Mommy Bonnie was supposed to go to a practice at the church today but is not going. Mommy is going to finish a book and watch movies. She is making her famous pork roast today. I hope I get some. It is in a marinade of Greek vinaigrette and will be stuffed with a mixture of feta cheese and kalamata olives and then baked. We can't keep kalamata olives in our house because my mommies eat them right out of the bottle as a snack!
