Took me a while to read everything.

''To Kill a Mockingbird.'' I taped it from a no commercial channel last month. Been waiting for the perfect evening to watch it. Power went off Saturday night while the satellite was on and toasted it. SCREAM!!! There goes all my taped shows not transfered to DVD yet. I also lost ''The Name of The Rose.'' Very hard to find.

We were so lucky. Saturday morn started with sleet, switching to rain. We had a 1/2'' of ice encasing everything. It stayed 34° all day. Power went out all around us, and some may not get their's back on for a few more days. Our's came back around 1:30 am. We only got a light layer of snow too. Sunday morn, we picked up all the limbs that broke off and shoveled slush and ice chunks from the driveway and sidewalks.

Ice on the plastic covering the sideporch windows.
