I feel so bad about not being home to help out with the kids/no school...was real worried about the freezing rain/trees coming down, no electric...I figured out a way to see if I still have electric...I called the house and the answering machine came on!!!! I have electric so don't have to worry about freezing pipes...I feel so much better about that.. DH & I are going to the garden club meeting ..the group will be going to 3 homes to learn about pruning...Mine is one of them...he bushes planted are so different from the one in the north...some are as tall as DH & he is 6'...have to go for now...meeting is in1/2 hour and I have to get dressed....Later
