A few co-workers have called while I have been out and have kept me up to date with things that have been happening and changes that have taken place. I lost two of my new workers in my unit, and one of my favorite supervisors moved over to CLOE, where my former supervisor, Ashley, went. We shall see.
Today was heartbreaking to watch. I was in the kitchen around 1 PM having a conversation with my son and daughter about this series that my daughter and I have been watching on Hulu called The Food that Built America. We were discussing the merger between Fritos and Lays when my son's attention was caught by a police car that had pulled up across the street from the corner house diagonally across from us. The officer got out of his vehicle and was looking around the property when another police car showed up. Both officers started looking around the property and then went to the front door. They knocked and knocked. An older couple lived there and had for over 20 years. The more we watched, the more I started thinking this had turned into a welfare check. My husband was still asleep but I woke him up to ask when he had seen the couple last. The man had just taken his flag in the house within the last week, so it had not been that long. My husband got up and dressed and all of us stayed in the kitchen watching out the window. The police finally made entry into the house but almost immediately came back out. The next thing we know FIRE shows up, then MedStar. Something was definitely wrong. 😶
After a few minutes, MedStar pulls away, and then FIRE leaves. A red SUV pulls up and at first we thought it may have been family, but then saw the glint from the sun revealing firearms and badges. Detectives had made the scene. They started walking around the property and speaking with the officers. All of them entered the house gloved up. FIRE comes back and this time a couple of them had on respirators and tanks. Two more vehicles pulled up and when one of the doors opened, it said Tarrant County Sheriff. The other vehicle said medical examiner. They got out and immediately gloved up and stepped inside the house. They came back and out started videoing the property and taking more pictures. This went on for hours with all different scenarios playing through our
heads, but one thing was certain and that our neighbors had been found
deceased. 😔 Another vehicle pulls up and backs into the driveway. When the gurneys were pulled out, a wave of sadness came over me and I shed a few tears. It was heartbreaking to watch for all of us, especially my daughter.
I am really hyped to see this new live action movie! And I was right. People are up in arms about Astrid being played to someone that is not blonde or blue eyed. smh. The trailer looks awesome!!!
What do we do when we lose power? Whip out the candles and LED lights and play Tripoley!! LOL! We had a few crazy storms pass through the night before that did quite a bit of damage on the street over that we could see. But we didn't know one of the utility poles had been damaged until we lost power. Four houses on our street were affected and were only running on half the power, which in turn made ONCOR shut our power off for safety until a crew could come out. It didn't take them long to get here, but after looking at the pole, they had to call a tree company out to cut branches. That took 84 years.
This is beautiful. I have always loved this song by Lee Greenwood. This is a bit of a rock version with Drew Jacobs.
Best outcome of the night!!! Heck yes!!! Too Big To Rig!!! 😊 Thank you God!!!
The hubby and I stayed glued to Charlie Kirk practically all evening into the early night. Hubby was on X and I was on YouTube. Charlie had the best coverage out of any of them, especially the media. His podcasts are great!!!
