Hi Sharon When I read your note about opening up your home to others for showers and laundry I was reminded of not only what this season is all about but also what great folks most of my fellow Tree Searchers are. God's Special Blessings to you and your family.

At last count there were still 700 homes here in town without power, my daughter and two children included and she just lives two blocks from me. My friends and family that live in the country are looking at a month or more without power and heat. Some of them don't have water. We are just one of the many families that have opened up their homes for showers and emergency loads of laundry. All this beautiful snow has covered up the cracked and broken trees and limbs. This is one of the winters our descendants will read about when they do their genealogy. All of you who live in the Ok, Tx, Ar, and Mo. area keep warm. God Bless, Sharon Staton >
