A few thoughts from the Frozen Chosen

Just a quickie - we are currently displaced by a winter storm. Church was cancelled, and of course the play at the theatre guild as well. Everyone here is fine, but pray for our house! There are limbs crashing down all around us - the power is out - so far so good but..... more ice expected tonight.

Our day was filled with togetherness. We spent a good amount of time huddled in front of the fire and watching the tree limbs crash down. Lunch consisted of roasting weenies in the fireplace. I heated water for hot cocoa on a kerosene camp stove in the mudroom. Kind of fun, but way too cold to stay - we are now with Tim and Lynn for the night. We'll see if they get the power up tomorrow.

I will have some interesting pics to share - a line came down in front of Grandma and Grandpa's (Ron and Gale) house and was sparking for about 20 minutes before they got it cut. That was exciting. We had a few near-misses as far as damage to the house. Like I said, so far so good.

More to come...
