If you can't do anything about it ..........

The latest Roy-ism is, "If you can't do anything about it, then I love it." He was commenting about our weather, which has been quite cold by central Texas standards. The rest of the country is freezing, dealing with snow, and wind chill with below zero being normal, and we are worrying about being cold. Roy is correct. We can't do anything about the weather except try to be prepared and wear warm clothing in many layers. It has been very cold here getting down below 32 degrees. Tonight it is supposed to drop into the teens or lower, and we are all wondering whether out water will freeze again.

We had frozen pipes today, as did another work camper, but we worked on it ,and tonight we both have running water. If we leave the water dripping in the sinks, hopefully we will still have running water in the morning. Saturday is supposed to be the coldest day of this current Arctic air mass to hit Texas. However, we have no snow, and the wind has died down, so I guess we can deal with it. Roy says to love it, but that seems a bit much to me tonight.

There is much truth however in the "If you can't do anything about it" part. We all need to learn to quit worrying about things we cannot change. A good lesson for us all. Happy travels.
