Cold, but no snow, yet

Just finished reading a blog from Gwen. Who’s Gwen? I don’t know but she lives in Heavener and says she’s a transplant from Kansas. Maybe it was the fact she lives in Heavener that I was reading it. Wonder why she isn’t a Heavener blogger, though? In a way, she is, I guess, just not a member of our group. Oh, well.

Apparently, it’s been snowing a bunch in Heavener. She had some pictures and everything with her blog. We haven’t had any snow here in Tyler, TX, just cold weather, mainly. Man, it has been cold lately and is right now, too. Glen, you said you’ve had a bunch of snow in Tennessee, too. I don’t care for snow too much. I’m not a cold weather person. I remember in 2000 when it snowed so much. I was in Heavener when it started and drove to East Texas that day. Cynthia and I weren’t married yet. She lost electricity for a couple of days and trees between her and Heavener were a mess, for years. I read somewhere that it may take 10 years to clean up all the damage that storm produced. I remember Cynthia saying she slept in the bathroom one night where there’s a gas stove. I went to work in Longview, because the electricity didn’t go off on that side of town.

Now I live in the house where the stove is in the bathroom, but I’m sure glad to report we haven’t had to use it. Yet.
