...makes. Yesterday, Renie and I were sitting on her deck discussing the condition of her foot/ankle she suffered an injury from the week before. She had just received word she could safely put some weight on it so she is on the way to recovery.
I walked over to her place, sun shining, jacketless, beautiful south Texas day. Everyone knew we would be giving up the temps in the 70's for those old familiar "up north" temps in the 30's We were all bracing for it. They predicted 28 degrees with strong north winds. Butch and I showered early and then watched TV. We heard it coming. The wind arrived in full force and we watched the temperature drop each degree and then the lights went out. That will bring everything to a halt. We did have our kindles so we both read for a while and then went to bed.
We were grateful we showered before the lights went out! The lights were out for about an hour as we could tell by the clock when it came back on. I woke up at 6:00 am and noted the outdoor temp was 32. I set the water for a slow drip to keep it from freezing and I just noticed the temp is now 31 so it must still be on the decline.
Fortunately by Monday we will be back on track with our weather.
