Part 9

It was right after they came back from their Christmas holiday when the biggest snow and ice storm that had ever hit Scotland, in many years, was forecasted. The weather analysts were predicting several scenarios, but all of them concurred in that there would be plenty of snow, which would turn to ice with the expected severely cold temperatures that were to follow. The weather forecasters were also predicting strong winds with the storm. Everyone in town rushed to the grocery and hardware stores to prepare for the incoming storm. As each day passed the predictions were for even worse conditions.

“If we had known, we could have stayed in Virgin Gorda. Can’t we go back and wait it out over there?” Alex asked.

“Nice try, Alexandra. And, yes, maybe Mommy Addy and I will go back while some people stay here and go to school. Plus, it’s too late to leave. The storm is around the corner. The best thing to do now is to be prepared.”

“You wouldn’t leave me here alone, and you know it Mommy.”

“Come on. Help me get stuff done, blabber mouth.”

Karen was already in full gear securing everything, inside and out. She nailed down anything that could come loose, lowered the outside wood shutters, parked the cars in the garage, and made sure that the generator was in good working condition and that there was plenty of diesel fuel out in the shed to keep it working for a long time.

Alex was helping with all the preparations. She loved to work side by side with them and was a quick learner. Karen made sure to have plenty of firewood for the fireplace, oil for the emergency heaters, and plenty of salt and shovels. She also made sure that James and JP were prepared. The distillery was secured and shut down, and everyone was sent home until further notice.

Marshall and Carol were still at the undisclosed winter location. They would be staying there until later in the spring. It was better for Alejandro to be in a warmer climate where he could train every day. Since Marshall and Carol were staying with Alejandro, Addy hired new help for the stables and she now had to make sure that all the horses were secured and protected and that everything was in order at the stables. It had been a long time since she had to worry about the stables. She had relinquished all those duties to Marshall, whom she trusted blindly.

Karen had personally secured the Manor house and Marshall and Carol’s cottage. After the fire in the stables, Karen and Addy made sure that their new cottage was near the stables, but far enough to be safe in case there was ever a fire again.

Even after everything was secured at home, the three of them went out to check all the properties. Addy thought that Karen always overdid the security matters, but even though she complained about the almost maniacal behavior, she liked the fact that Karen took care of everything and was always prepared.
