As we are 5 days into 2014, I discovered a blog with my 2 lonely posts that I started in 2011. I have resolved to post family events and my thoughts here for this year.
I have a number of journals completed over the years that are scattered among my many books. I need to place together so someday my daughters will get to read them. As bait, I will start telling them that I have been hiding money in my large collection of books about Kentucky and Appalachia and in my family and genealogy papers. They will have to spend time in my books and perhaps learn who I really am.
Anyway this will be my journal for 2014.
Today we plan to gear up for a forecasted snowstorm tonight. Will also bring frigid temperatures the next few days. Power outages are anticipated so we will prepare as in past years. The menu is fried chicken and a roast. And salad fixings. We will have extra drinking water and several containers for a toilet flush or so. Check flashlights and batteries. Still have all those battery operated Christmas candles out. May need to use them finally. Our heat for this 1847 home is a 30" by 30" floor furnace with radiant heat that remains active without power. And our gas grill is ready to go for hamburgers from the freezer. Vehicles are full of gas and phones are charged . We have the situation in hand. The joke in Ohio is about the before storm run on groceries for milk, bread, and toilet paper. We always used to include beer and cigarettes on our lists in the late 70s. Times change.
