The Loss Of A Grandparent
.jpg)
Papa (A.B.) Beeman passed away very peacefully this morning (Friday) at 8:45 AM.
Papa & Grandma moved to Oklahoma City (from Central Texas) to live near Aunt Karen so she could help take care of them, almost two years ago (would be 2 years in July). Two weeks ago, it became unsafe for them to live alone in their home (3 blocks from Aunt Karen), and they moved into Aunt Karen B & Mary Lee S's home.
The funeral will be in Waco, TX -- burial will be in Lorena, TX. The funeral will be at Wilkirson, Hatch, & Bailey Funeral Home. Here is the funeral home's website for on-line obituary & on-line guest book. http://www.wilkirsonhatchbailey.com/
I will post arrangements when we know them.
Papa was 86 years old. So very thankful in his faithfulness in the important things!!

Snow Days
We'll we haven't heard an official number for our town, but we think we ended up getting about 16 inches of snow (on top of about 1-2 inches of sleet).
A town 30 miles west of us got 28 inches, but then a town 30 miles east of us got 7...so 16 may be close to right for us.
I didn't venture out too far, but this is a picture standing on one of our porches....there are three steps up to this porch...you can only see the tip-top of the top step.
The puppies LOVED our weekend of being "snowed-in". :)
There were snow drifts 4-6 feet deep. Our local grocery store closed, as their roof collapsed due to the heavy snow, as did the roof at the local Activity Center. Our neighbor, three homes down, has a collapsed carport (on top of their vehicle). So far, we haven't heard of any of our properties being damaged. We'll try to venture out, this afternoon, and check them .. it's suppose to get into the low 40's today - so we're hoping for lots of melting! :)

Spring Blizzard
We were to leave today, about noon, to head to Dallas for a quick trip to say our GoodBye's to Charlus' brother and family. They are flying out of DFW, on Sunday evening, to move from Indiana to Argentina, for 2-3 years with his job. Blizzard conditions were expected and they hit today about 10 AM.
The below photo was taken from about 40 feet away from the vehicle...visibility was LOW...8-15 inches expected by Saturday afternoon...WINDY, and sleeting and snowing hard. (Don't think I've ever seen snowflakes this big & heavy.) So, with the bad weather (and the long drive through the bad weather)and the incident posted below, we decided we better decide to stay home. We hated to miss seeing them before they leave, but glad we got to be with them in January. Think the company will fly them back to the U.S. a couple of times a year, so we hope to see them on one of those trips. :)
Meanwhile, we'll be holed-up at home...trying to stay warm and safe!
Hope all of you are having prettier, warmer weather!

Where not to get your oil changed!
Charlus decided to try out the new oil change shop, in our town, this morning about 10:30 or 11 o'clock. He likes to give business to the new local businesses...there are other oil change shops in town.
He said he heard the guy raise his truck all the way up on the lift, and then heard a bunch of metal noise, and then this guy let about 45 seconds of expletitives out. So, Charlus decided to leave the waiting room and go out and see what was going on.... His 2008 Chevy 3/4 ton diesel truck had fallen off the lift!!!!
Charlus was VERY glad the man hadn't been under it, as he had just walked under it to get the oil pan, and just as he got to the other side the truck fell!
The truck is pretty bent & bunged up, there's a hole through one side, etc Not sure when they will get it out...insurance companies, the people that installed the lift, etc have to come see it first.
I am so glad if it had to happen to anyone that it happened to my husband! He is the most kind, most patient man I know...and he was very understanding & sympathetic to the shop owner.
Just had to share the pictures, and the story, with you all! :)
