Surviving the Texas Winter Storm

Today the winter event continues in south Texas. It’s been 48 hours since I’ve had water. Electricity returned around midnight (that’s a plus). Here’s what makes this situation tolerable. A friend has electricity and water. My friend gave me an invitation to weather the storm in my friend’s house. Another friend gave me two potatoes (two potatoes are a big deal when the grocery shelves are empty). Another friend turned the water off to my home until the temperatures are back over freezing. I hope I am as good a friend to them as they are to me. We make it through difficult time best, when we make it through together.
