Feb 28th - Arrived in Crossville

I said in my last post that we would be leaving Livingston, TX last Thursday. Thursday turned out to be such a nice day that we stayed there and did a little more sightseeing. We drove over to Lake Livingston and checked it out. It is HUGE.

When we left Friday morning we had sheet ice on one of the slide toppers. The temperature was 32 when we left. It has been below that until about 2PM today, in TN.

Friday we drove 580 miles and spent the night in Jackson, TN. We drove the final 260 miles today and arrived at our place about 3 PM. We did manage to stop at Demo's in Lebanon, TN for lunch. It is one of our favorite restaurants and we were not disappointed. Our meal was excellent.

The damage from last weeks ice storm is amazing. I copied the photo below from one of the neighbors Facebook post.

Over 30,000 people lost their power. A week later 7,500 still don't have power.

Our place seems to have "weathered the storm" with no problems. Since the heat is all electric I was concerned that some of the plumbing might freeze and burst, but it all appears to be OK.

There is a lot of clean up work to be done in the area. We plan on staying here for the next several weeks so we can help with some of it, and enjoy time with family and friends.

Time for bed. May God bless you and yours.
