Mama Nature is telling us something...

We must have done something to really honk Mama Nature off. She dropped buckets of ice on us for a couple of days and we are just now digging out. And we are way more fortunate than others in our region that are still without power, heat, water - all the comforts to which we have become accustomed. Kentucky was really slammed in this ice storm. We went a few days with no TV, no internet, no newspaper, no radio, and no mail. You talk about feeling isolated when we are so used to the constant bombardment of information from all directions. Even our cellphones wouldn't work because of the ice build-up on the cell towers. That I didn't miss, not one bit. It was gratifying to hear stories of grandparents, parents and kids of all ages coming together to play board games, cards, or charades and totally unplugging for a few days. Maybe we need more of that..........maybe that is Mama Nature's message. Maybe we should listen, but we'd have to put our Ipods down first.

That's the news from the Bay City General Store Daily Ledger!

When you thaw out come and see us!
