Happy Belated Birthday, Max!
So sorry I didn't get to make you a card... it's been a rough 24.
That sum a beetch Murphy came to visit around here.

Saturday it was 82° so I worked around the yard, washed the car, etc. T'was a beautiful day!
Then yesterday this devil of a storm moves in with thunder storms, then more thunder sleet and SNOW! This is E. Texas for gawd's sake. Anyway, we had 3 inches of sleet/slush which froze into solid glaciers when the temps dropped 60° in just a few hours.
Power in and out.... satellite the same, but the worst of all, I forgot to unhook the garden hose and replace the insulated cone back over it. My house water is now frozen up somewhere and after calls to 4 plumbers, I'm on the wait list. Wind chills down in the minus's and will not get above freezing today so NO thaw will be happening. Living on bottles water and aren't peoples like fish... so stinky after 3 day's ya gotta bury them?

I may not have water til the end of the week.... P.U., Iz gonna be ripe by then!
