Ice Again

Again, we got pelted by freezing ice balls yesterday, then rain ... and yes, it froze. ... and my internet satellite had ice balls on the antenna and I cried.

This is the second time in a week that we've been slammed with a ice storm. ... and this is the second time in a week that I talked Marlboro Man into climbing onto the roof and pouring hot water on that little antenna that sticks out. The one that was coated with one-half inch of ice.

As he was climbing the ice covered ladder with his little blue bucket of hot water, I had a little bit of a twinge of guilt .... and I almost panicked thinking he might fall off the slick roof. Then I worried that I would have to get my coat and shoes on, and go out into the cold and rescue him. Then I worried that I might bust my butt if I had to go out there. Then I quickly got over it, and patiently waited until he de-iced me.

I did pray for him though. I prayed that he would make it back in one piece and I wouldn't have to go outside in the cold.

Through out all this .... MM only had one request. Well, it really was a threat. He said that if I took his picture while he was on the icy roof doing something that stupid, he wouldn't de-ice me, and I wouldn't have my internet connection for a long long time.

But he didn't say a thing about writing about it!

Be Blessed Everyone.
