Folks attend birthday party I was wondering how many .got their skates out when we had that icy day. Hope no one took 'a serious tumble on the. ice, but it was beautiful wasn't it. The folks .that are trying to keep their water lines running aren't finding it that cute tough. Maybe well have to do like the northerners bury their water lines at least 6 feet underground. The one tried and true method of keeping the lines running is to leave then running a little bit at all times.
