AUSTIN - Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission have waived certain regulations related to the intake and transfer of Texans in assisted living facilities, nursing facilities, and other long-term care facilities to aid in the response to severe winter weather events.

Welcome to beautiful sunshine yesterday morning and again this morning. If you don’t like the weather as you rise in the morning, give it a little while and it will change. I love TEXAS, for sure and I don’t know of anywhere I’d rather be. We have pulled together and survived the sub-freezing cold temperatures, the ice, the snow, then ice again. Some without electricity for 10 or more days, no water,(someone said, plenty of toilet tissue and no water to flush it) and people running out of firewood. God has blessed us in so many ways and we live where neighbors help neighbors and it really bothers me that I’ve reached the age that I can’t get out there and help out like I used to do. So hats off to all of you who saw to the needs of others during this time. God will surely bless you in so many ways.
