Monday - Oct 26
Today was pretty routine stuff. We completed all our household chores and the laundry. We went to town and picked up the mail before the ice storm hit!
Tuesday - Oct 27
Today we woke up to ice and one limb down in the driveway. Then there were lots more limbs that came down throughout the morning. Our electricity went out and stayed out about 9:45. It had flickered some before that. So it was off all day. That meant we had no lights or TV. Lunch was a peanut butter sandwich with yogurt and an apple. We opened our blinds to let the sunlight in - that helped. We went out to the RV and decided to get it heated up so we could sleep in it if necessary. I mean - who wants to freeze? I also remember that we have an oil radiator heater in the garage that will run off electricity when we start the generator. So about 5:30 we took our chili fixings to the RV and made chili and ate supper. That extra heater really made it warm in the RV. In fact we got right down toasty. We watched a movie and went to bed in the RV.
Wednesday -Oct 28
We got up about 9:00 AM and when I came in the house - we were in luck! The electricity was on. So we ran the dishwater and took our showers. I did some bill paying and bookkeeping. After lunch we watched TV and took it easy. Later we made went to Homeland for some extra groceries. The ice was melting and the branches were falling. We felt very thankful and fortunate that our electricity was on. Yea!
While we were hanging out this morning - Kristi called. She wanted to know if we could meet up and then have the kids come here and stay to be warm. Their electricity was out and even though they were staying at the hotel where Kristi worked - it didn’t have electricity either. So we headed to OKC to meet up and get the kids. We ate at Red Robin - and it wasn’t the greatest today. Some of the food was lukewarm and the prices were pretty high for just burgers! Probably wont go back there for a while. We got home about 4:00 PM and everybody rested. I made Chicken Vegetable soup for supper.
Friday - Oct 30
We got up and around because we had planned to go to Walmart for groceries. But Cooper (the young man who mows our yard in the summer) called and he wanted to know if they could come and cut the tree limbs today. We said absolutely. We then sat around and did very little this afternoon. Logan fixed us Pancakes for lunch and I cooked the turkey bacon. He really likes to cook pancakes. We watched TV and waited for the limbs to get cut. They finally got here and worked about 2 1/2 hours. For supper, we went to La Macarena and ate.
Saturday - Oct 31 Halloween
Today we got around. I showered and then we walked. We were giving the kids time to wake up. After they woke up, we all went to Walmart to get groceries and supplies. The kids went and picked out snacks and food they wanted. We returned home and watched football. OSU got beat by Texas and OU crushed Texas Tech. I made chicken pot pie for supper because Logan requested it. It turned out great! I even took a picture of it.
We did nothing for Halloween - and had no Trick or Treaters.

Sunday - Nov 1
Again we got around and took a walk. Then we watched football. Later we met Kristi and returned the kids to her. They had to return to work and school. And the hotel had electricity by then - so they wouldn’t freeze.
