Retired, housewife, mother of three. Picking up the pieces after God decided the 145 year old farmhouse was no longer the house for us. Praise God for His mercy and love!

Brrrrr




Pictures from the property. Son said New Home looks good, but cold.

You all be safe, stay warm and God bless.

Cold today

This is the apartment complex we are living at.


 


High today was only 20 something. Predicting 10 for tonight.
Lows for the next four nights at or below freezing. Breaking a lot of records.
They are predicting more snow/ice for Wednesday which is a high of 36. Not good for Ash Wednesday, really.

We are blessed though. Van would not start yesterday or today. Our fault for not starting it regularly while it has been here. Long story there that would be boring to share. 
Son's car blew something this morning while he was warming it up. Not oil related is all we know right now. Will need to be a bit warmer to know more.
But we bought a new battery for the van and it started right up. Praise God!

You all be safe. Stay warm. God bless. ❤️

Saturday flea market trip

 Two dozen farm eggs. No pictures. ;-)

Four bowls that I liked.






And two random pictures.

Exxon plant - part of it.



And a section of elevated train tracks. Cargo trains.



We are looking at a several nights below freezing. A hard freeze as well.

Tonight's low 28 degrees

Sunday's low 23 degrees

Monday's high 27 degrees

Monday's low between 13 and 15 degrees

Tuesday's high 31 with a low of  24 degrees

This is not seasonable weather for Louisiana. 

But I am guessing this may be the reason we have had such a delay getting our home.


You all be safe. Stay warm and God bless.  ♥

Forgot to post this, Mom.

 Sewage system in.






It's supposed to be some sort of fancy aerobic system. 

We called the electric company; but they said the water and gas need to be in also before we can have electricity. Parish called today to see if we were ready for inspection. Should have been, but we told them no, still waiting. They said they would be out the day after, just call.

I wanted to just go ahead and call someone but the dealer said don't call someone because they have to get estimates and they don't want to have to pay if two people show up for the same job.

But they don't communicate well so other than one company may have given them an estimate; we don't know what is going on. 

And there were things discussed that ended up not in the contract that we were assured didn't need to be there. Our own fault for being word and a handshake people. 

Still things are moving and God is in control. No sense doing plumbing when the low this weekend is supposed to be 18 degrees!

Be safe, stay warm and God bless!

Thank you, Lord!

You all be safe and God bless. 🙂
