Good for that, the SIL, I mean. HOpe her pipes hold up. I'm sure she knows to create a trickle flow.
Did she get the horses in? Has anybody heard from Uh_oh? I hope he's not in a snowbank--worried about him AND Nina.

She knows that, she's not leaving it on for very long periods. She told Uh Oh not to come. She has Gary's family close by, so she's not totally alone. George just showed up to gravel her road for her when we hung up. It's just all hitting her hard for obvious reasons. She will get through it. She was planning on going to work tomorrow, to keep her mind busy, but that will have to wait till she gets power.

Isn't that the way that things usually seem to go. Shortly after my mom died, I would drive by to check on the house, and everything seemed to be fine. One night I drove by and thought it was odd that the attic window didn't have frost on it, but didn't get out to go in to take a look.
 A few days later, my son kept asking about a toy that was at grandma's house. Finally, frustrated that he kept asking about it, I went over there and when I opened the front door, you could see my breath. OMG! The back door had blown open at some point, the furnace had gone out (probably from constantly running), the toilet tank had cracked from being a solid cube of ice, & the bathtub had about 10-12" of ice in it. It was actually warmer outside than it was in the house! I could here a hissing sound in the basement, which I knew was running water, and when I opened the basement door, the other side of the door looked like a old freezer door with a good 1" of frost covering the whole other side, and water streaming on the basement floor because the frost plate had burst off the water meter. I called all the appropriate people and then persisted to stand there and bawl...me and my 6-7 month's of pregnancy!!!!!! Hubby was on his way to Chicago and could do nothing but listen to me sob on the phone!!! The poor men that showed up to fix the watermeter and the furnace, looked more scared that I was going to go into labor. Get everything fixed and get home and my oldest son barf's all over our brand new bed, while I was on the phone with my husband.Some days, I swear it just seems that we get hit when we're the most vulnerable! Hang in there Nina! It will get better and we are all sending warm thoughts your way! Wish I could be there to help you out!

Uh-oh, Nina and everyone else affected by this, take care and we wish you well.
Am I the only one whose heart felt a little warmer hearing the Nina had threatened Uh-oh? It makes me feel better every time I hear Nina say something that sounds like her old self!

Well I got to say when UH_OH told me about Nina i kind of knew he would want to run over there. ( He's kind of like that). But I'm glad Nina had the brains he doesn't to tell him not to go.
I'm happy Nina is OK and people are talking to her.

the loungers to my rescue once again! we got our power back about 45 minutes ago. we were told this morning that it could be 8 to 10 days and that really took the wind outta my sails but i guess the gods of electricity took pity on us out here in the darkest boonies on the planet.
uh_oh paid attention for once...i did NOT want to have to worry about him on the roads, the roads were downright dangerous, accident after accident, hundreds of people off in ditches. it wasn't pretty! i will talk to him soon about the generator. that is something gary and i discussed numerous times but never had the chance to just DO it. this is worst than the ice storm of '77. everything and i mean EVERYTHING was coated with a half inch of ice. i sat in the dark and listened to trees crashing down around me. debi is right, all of the trees gary and i planted and babied over 10 years are destroyed. some may come back but it'll take years. the horses were covered in ice, tails frozen solid. they have 2 barns they can get into if they choose. for whatever reason (translation...they aren't the brightest lights on the tree), they chose to stand out in the freezing rain and they were shivering cold when i fed them sunday morning. they are dry now and seem fine but we are supposed to get more freezing rain tonight, tomorrow and wednesday. i gotta back up a little...before the freezing rain hit, we had a rip snortin' thunder/lightning storm that lit up the sky! it was just weird!! i have been hunkering down at night with the dogs. i rummaged through gary's dresser and found his good thermal undies so i have been toasty warm while under the covers. it was getting up in the morning and having the house at 40ish degrees that was not pleasant. i had so many blankets on last night, i couldn't turn over in bed. walking outside is treacherous. thankfully, i have chains and spikes for my shoes and boots and i don't go anywhere without them. no running water is the pits. i have not eaten anything other than a hamburger bun because i confess, i wasn't prepared for this storm. that canned pedigree, chicken flavor, was startin' to look and smell pretty darn good. i have not turned water on yet. gary's brother was here and said it looks like the water pump might have an ice sliver in it somewhere. it's trying to pump up but the pressure isn't where it needs to be just yet. he has put an electric heater in the pump house, we'll see where we are in the morning. hopefully, it didn't freeze. i have to tell you...crocheting by flashlight isn't so bad. i had a pretty decent book to read so i crocheted for a while, read for a while. the hours crawled by. i would look at the clock at it would be 5:30, dark everywhere. i would look at the clock what seemed like hours later and it would be 5:45. it was torture. with no t.v. and nothing to occupy my mind, my thoughts never strayed from gary. that was really tough. but, i made it and hopefully mother nature won't dump on us again. the forecast isn't lookin' too good. *sigh* oops, i just remembered the 5 line rule. oh well.
