Jean 1 here. Here in Springfield Missouri we are entrenched in ice. Ice that has rendered our city the pronouncement of being a "disaster area". We have over 95% of our city without power....we were part of that group for about 30 minutes. Somehow, although I'm not complaining, we were brought back up to power, even though just across the street they are still down.

We have a family staying with us now that has been without power since day 1. We spoke this morning and told them "come on over" and after some convincing, they did. We are so glad that they did. The younger kids have loved it, I have loved it and we are all so happy to be able to share our home.

Here are some pictures of the area of the house.....

This is the front yard tree

This is our basketball goal

Hope you all stay safe and warm....more pics on my flickr account if you are interested....Jean 1
