You guys all stay safe....sure thinking and praying for you all. And you are right once you go through a ordeal such as no power for day after day...you can brag and tackle just about anything in life. In times like these a person really finds out how resourseful a person can become. I remembering joking with my family....ok, we now are officially amish(living without power) and melting snow water to water the horses and flush the toilets..... it helps to keep a good sense of humor in tough situations. There were days this past February when a power truck would drive by our road and we would literally cheer them on as they put new poles in mile after mile to get the electric wires back up from the ice storm.
Tell everyone we are praying for them and their horses!
If Becky and Charlotte decide to embrace this new no electricity lifestyle and go totally amish in the showring in 2008....I expect to see them on the Miniature Horse World cover. just teasing, hope this brings a smile in a not so good situation....ice storms are no fun
Keep us posted Vicki and take care.

Reflections, Redrock & T/C are without power. None since Sunday night and no relief in sight! Trees down everywhere! Lots of damage due to falling trees and limbs in our area. So far, all we have lost is our power, water, trees. We wont know about damage to our homes for a few days.
I came to the office to get warm! We are all looking for alternative places to sleep tonight! Motels/Hotels that HAVE power, are full! A lot of resturaunts are closed due to no electricity!
So far, we are able to supply water to our horses by catching rain water in buckets. We had filled our water tanks, but no electric, no tank heaters! We are above freezing right now and that's a big help! We are being told it could take 7-10 days to get our power back! We sure hope that's not the case!
I think once this is over, we can brag that we can live threw ANYTHING!
