The Power is ON!

I had been preparing to be out power for another 3-4 days, but were graced with an earlier 'on' time over night.  I am thankful to have it back, but am thinking of the thousands of people on wells who are still waiting.  It will be a long week for many.

We had never gone longer than 1/2 a day without power since living in this house, so 3 days was a learning experience.  It was not so bad since we were well prepared and had generator to run the fridge & chest freezer on as to not lose all the meat and perishables.  Yesterday I did need to go out and refill our water jugs for flushing & washing; I also brought some dirty dishes to a friend's house to wash.

It is good to be back.

I'm so glad you're back on! It's tough, even when prepared, it really drags on your nerves, especially with kids underfoot! Here too, about 75% are supposed to be back on today but the rest might not have it back until Friday or Saturday I heard, yikes! Enjoy that power, and hot shower!

glad to hear you are back up and running! We only lost power for 24 hours, but that was enough for me!
