We did our travelling last week to Greenwood for family Christmas. I am thankful that we had a pleasent Saturday to travel and got to enjoy our family. My daughter (16) wants to drive in from Peru tommorrow I told here not to even attempt driving. Guess this weather system will bring the kids in after Christmas. Mike thanks for the forcast t keep us safe and our families that are trying to see other family members.
Justin
Is there anyway that we could talk, seems we have alot in common.
Richard
Richard, I will talk to you over the blog! If that's cool!
Justin.
You seem to like doing alot of picture taking and have friends in Attica. Would like to invite you down sometime and let you get some great eagle pics for your photo collection. Can get them from boat or land. :)
Richard
It is slick out there, WOW! someone just hit a fire hydrant in front of my home ... now we will be without water shortly...I feel for William who is without power...and we are to be without water... goodness what a time we are all going though!

Justin.
Thanks for the offer Richard!
Did not mean to skip you there :)
I just got caught up with what Teri said!
Mike When do you think you will be back here from your Christmas vacation?? If you don't mind me asking?
Justin
just talked to my doughter from monon, and they lost power aprox. 30 minutes ago.wouldve liked a white christmas but to be honest it wouldnt have helped much, i lost my father in aept. to lung cancer and iam really not in the christmasy mood, will try to put on a smily face for my grandchildren tomorrow night, after all thats who enjoys it the most. ,,,Becky from monticello
sorry that was september i lost him
Justin, happened about hour ago, they have barricades around it now, and will be working on it as soon as they can....I tried to walk over to check out the damage, but is just to slick on our steet and walks...
Teri
34 degrees right now in Attica things should be getting better as that night progresses. I did step out for a few minuts and the roads are more slush than ice even the alley next door was a little icey but was turning to slush from the rain. Rain here seemed is very light. Sending it your way to Lafayette.
Richard
Our rain is slowly starting to tapper off and by that I mean slow down to a real light rain!
Teri we both need to stop going out in this wild weather to see whats going on! :) I was running in and out all day today! Yes I have a window but I feel i need to see whats going on without looking through a window!! If it is not a thunderstorm Then I will walk out to look for myself! But I'M not a normal person! :) lol
Justin in Lafayette
Sorry about the recent loss of your Father Becky. I lost my Grandma aound that time frame. Just love them little grandchildren and your kids when they are in and I hope it gives you the best Christmas you have ever had.
May Peace be with you!
Richard

Justin in Lafayette
I am the First to wise you all a Happy Christmas Eve On Christmas Eve!!!!! :)
Justin
Anyone ever see this much frezzing rain in one season here in Indiana. It`s still December and a long ways until March. Hope Mike is right an Early Spring!
I'M sorry a few typos Wish you a Merry Christmas! :) There we go!
Justin
Well lets see... Mike also said that we would get 15-20 inches of snow this month... anyways.... SR 25 near 3 lane hill is still closed.
thank you Richard, i appreciate it. was told he had 6 months ended up only 6 weeks, but that enough of that. I am a paper delivery for Lafayette JC,, should be interesting at 2 am. might just decide to sleep a few extra hours but then thoes ole people get testy when their paper aint their by 6 am, what really gripes me i read in the monticello paper that they are to clean off the sidewalks, well from the looks of it this morning it aint happening. oh well i guess i can wait till mother nature cleans them off, goodnight everyone be safe
It is not slushy here all ice with what seems to be in inch of water on top.. no way would or could I walk,
I guess more water from the hydrant?? I dont know...alot though..And yes I need to keep from running in and out, I used to tell my daughter "we are not heating the great outdoors" stop running in and out...now she says that to me LOL
Teri
I had a friend who did the paper and had to get up at 2:am! She was never so happy to be done with that!
Becky I sure do hope you get your rest! After hearing what all you go through to get the papers out you need it!
Be safe in the morning!
Justin
LOL on testy old people... That is a true statement Becky. One should not complain when someone is at risk while driving on treacherous roads. Maybe they ought to get the internet and subscribe the newspaper from there.
Richard
Mike have a safe trip to Wisconsin. Don`t forget the cheese for the bloggers and traveling mercies will be with you on your trip to and fro.
Richard
Good night bloggers, if you cannot sleep count your blessings instead of sheep:)
Be safe
Teri
That is a great thing to say Teri, Count your blessings instead of sheep!!!!! I like that
Mike Have a SAFE TRIP!!!!! You know we all Wish you and your's the BEST!
Justin.
Goodmorning all, i have quit for now running the route, i will resume again at 6;30 it is just to dangerous to be driving let alone walking on sidewalks and steps. so untill later,,,, Merry christmas........Becky
LOL Teri!
I could not sleep...and I had that song stuck in my head! I did try to count my blessings, but got distracted by thinking of all the things I had left to do...and who I should be calling to send warm greetings. You know how that goes.
So did Maryanne and William stay safe this time around???
Teri,
I think we made it..
william in remington
Yes, we did make it!!
MA in REM
