Good Luck Tigers
This morning as I write this article, I see how bad the weather is in other places as well as how much rain we are receiving now. I see and hear how many people are without power. I continually tell others one of the best investments you can do in this time of climate change is to purchase a whole house generator. Mine is a Generac. It is hooked up to a 250-gallon propane tank, that is filled each time the gas truck comes out to replenish my house tank. I would not put the generator on my house gas tank, because if my house gas tank ran out, I still had my generator tank full and my generator running in case of bad weather. Katrina taught me how much inconvenience you have with no electricity. At that time my stove was electric, my furnace had to have electricity to run as well as the refrigerator and freezer. This whole house generator has really made a difference.
Dr. Locord Wilson and her husband Tom Wilson spent the weekend in Houston, Texas wishing their oldest granddaughter a great 16th Birthday. They flew out Friday night and returned Sunday before any airports were closed. They were supposed to come in later on Sunday, but the airlines changed their flight to earlier on Sunday before the airports were closed. They had a wonderful time. Jayla thoroughly enjoyed her grandparents spending this once in a lifetime time with her. She will never be 16 years old again.
