The ice man cometh...to Kentucky

I may not have been born in Canada, but I am a Canadian so as you can imagine ice and snow don't scare me. That said, the ice storm that recently blew through Kentucky was a real humdinger. Mom and Dad and I spent almost five days without power! After asking dad to turn on Thomas the Tank Engine 50 or 60 times I finally learned a new word - "broke", as in "the TV is broken." No phone, no lights, no television, not a single luxury. That was us from Tuesday evening until Friday afternoon when Dad packed up the truck and drove us to Canada to escape the harsh ravages of winter in Kentucky. Anyway, we did have fun camping out in one bed listening to trees crashing all around us during the night. I kind of enjoyed not having a bath for 4 days (although Mom and Dad claim this was not one of their highlights of the week). Here are some photos to show our non-Kentucky friends (and especially the doubting Canadians!) just how bad it got.



















This is a picture of Mom and I living like pioneers under 4 or 5 blankets. I wore that fleece jacket for 5 days straight.
