January 09,2010 and it's still VERY cold here in Troy Alabama. It was 19F this morning and a high expected of 35. We had no water for the past 2 days, but it will on later this p.m., thank goodness for our fresh water holding tank. It's interesting listening to to the radio and they precautions they offer. Drain you house plumbing of water if you don't have heat....leave a tap dripping to prevent the lines from freezing ( we do that here if the water hasn't been shut off). Oh well, relief is in sight it will be in the mid 50's by Thursday and warmer after that. All of the South has suffered with this fridgid air. Our Saturday pot luck breakfast was cancelled today because the rec hall was too cold.....bummer. Sue has been quilting a couple of times, at a seniors center in Troy with Miss Jewel, Ms Melba and others. There is a chilli cookoff scheduled for next Saturday.......we're gonna win!!!!!!!!
