The Loss Of A Grandparent

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!!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful Mother!!!
So glad God chose YOU to be MY Mom!!!
I love you!!!

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! :)
