Is it Too Early for Bailey's and Coffee?

By

I’m sitting in my home office and listening to crashes all around me of branches snapping and falling to the ground. Austin is having an ice storm and the trees are taking a beating! This started Tuesday and escalated during the morning hours. Sounds like could continue until Thursday late afternoon.

A large branch fell on my pool cover and I’m hoping it didn’t rip it! Branches are snapping on so many of my trees out front and several have fallen on my neighbor’s yard and theirs have crashed on my roof!

   

I have not lost power yet, so am grateful as my daughter lost theirs. I decided to take a warm shower, make a Baily’s and coffee and sit in my office to see if I hear anymore loud crashes! Is it too early…..Naw…it’s that kind of day!

I would say No since it is 5'oclock somewhere, haha.  I think my drinking buddy Wayne Martin reserves adult libations for the evening though, haha.

The sun is shining on this cold day in Maryland and I am thankful that we have no ice storm. However, I am ready for a Bailey's and coffee.

Dorie Dillard Austin TX - geese! I had no idea you got the ice storm so bad down there from DFW. Yikes! I'm sorry to hear your yard, pool, and the trees have taken such a beating! Yesterday my Insurance Man sent out a newsletter about homeowners insurance stating, that trees are not covered from ice storms unless.... and there was a list of reasons why it could be covered, such as falling on your house. However, for the most part, it's an act of God and not covered. But if the neighbor's tree falls on your property they don't cover, and the neighbor doesn't have to pay or file a claim. What the heck, I thought to myself!  

I wish you good luck. I would be drinking coffee with Bailey's anytime, no restrictions. Go for it! Enjoy it. You deserve it.

Ice storms are the worst and I would be terrified. It's never too early for coffee and Bailey's, always 5 o'clock somewhere you know. Now I have a sudden craving for Kahlua and cream.

Dorie Dillard Austin TX - With an ice storm like that, it knocked the sails out of you and left you feeling exhausted. Seeing those trees and dealing with your loss must have been hard on you. I hope you are recovering and things are improving, one day at a time.
