For about the past 3 days, we have been suffering the ill effects of a horrible ice storm. It began raging across Iowa on Wed, and today (Saturday) we JUST got power back (hopefully) permanently! Its been a mess! Trees down everywhere, taking power lines down with them. Power line poles completely snapped in half also aren't helping electrical crews get things done any faster.
Our front step, sidewalk, and driveway are coated in several inches of ice and *knock on wood* i haven't fallen yet, so I'm grateful for that! :) I don't know if my poor back would be able to handle that. Although, on second thought... that would mean seeing super cute Dr. Meyer.....Nope, nope, not worth it. :)
Thank God for Greg and Tammy and their generator, otherwise, Brad and I would have been stuck at home with no power, no heat, no lights, no nothing! BRRRrrr!!
It's amazing how tough, challenging times like these bring out the best in people. All over town people have been banding together to help the elderly and those less fortunate who don't have the resources to stay warm or fed. Its heartwarming and again, it makes me truly proud to be part of such an amazing community.
