Power outages in Arkansas

I am sitting in my car charging my cell phone. Saturday morning some storms came through that did a lot of damage.

Below I am posting some pictures and a link to my YouTube page where I took some videos from Saturday after the storms.

We are on Entergy and there are lots of outages. We live in rural Saline County so it may be awhile. They are saying tomorrow night at 10pm but I guess we will see.

Our neighbors have gas generators that kick on because they are hooked up to the natural gas lines. They are expensive so we can’t afford it right now. My husband did buy one but he t needs work so we can’t use it.

This isn’t the first time that storms came through like this. I’m just glad it didn’t happen with the ice and snow. It is 49 degrees right now and tomorrow it is supposed to get up into the 60s. So if I don’t go to work then it won’t be to bad to stay home.

You’re the Best Deal of My Life

How do I love you? Let me say,
Through every find, through every day.
From flea markets to Sunday drives,
With you, my love, my heart still thrives.

I loved you when the world seemed wide,
Through trailer hauls and deals to find.
Through laughter loud and moments small,
You've been my greatest prize of all.

I will love you still through every year,
Through every joy, through every tear.
Side by side, through thick and thin,
I'd choose you over and over again.

I loved you in our younger days,
Through all the dreams, through all the maze.
From "Look what I found!" to "Just one more,"
You made my life worth searching for.

I loved you in the quiet nights,
The stories shared, the wrongs made right.
Through winding roads and steps we've climbed,
My love grows stronger every time.

I will love you still through every year,
Through every joy, through every tear.
Side by side, through thick and thin,
I'd choose you over and over again.

We’ve built a life, a love so true,
Through ups and downs, we made it through.
With every joke, with every sigh,
You're still the twinkle in my eye.

No map, no plan, just you and me,
A love as wild as it can be.
Through every sale and every find,
You're still the best deal of my life.

I will love you still through every year,
Through every joy, through every tear.
Side by side, through thick and thin,
I'd choose you over and over again.

Through every storm, through every mile,
Your hand in mine makes it all worthwhile.
After all these years, through thick and thin,
I'm still right here, just like I've always been
