TUEDAY–Found out DH’s parents had power, went & spent the day. Took everything perishable out of the refrigerator to cook before it ruined. A nearby neighbor (on another street) got power, so we came home at the end of the day hoping we would get power soon. A cousin that lives waaaaaay out let us know she had power around 10pm. So we slept with hope.
WEDNESDAY–Woke up this morning to daylight, no rain, but no power either. Had enough hot water in the tank for everyone to bathe, except DH. Cooked breakfast on the gas stove. DH plugged his coffee pot in to the generator that was “charging” our freezer. Had breakfast & went to spend the day with the cousin that got power last night. Came home this afternoon to JOY beyond all JOYS–ELECTRICITY! I’m tellin’ ya–it is the greatest invention known to man!! And I didn’t realize how spoiled I am until I had to live without it.
UPDATE ON FELDER–Felder had surgery to put in the chemo port yesterday, and he also received his first dose. He did okay, but he did experience some pain. Please continue to pray for this family as you think of them.
We only lost power a couple of times and for just a few inutes at a time. We were very blessed in that respect as we lost it for almost a week after Katrina. We did have a tornado pass through town earlier today. My mom was at work and actually saw it as it passed over. There was no sigificant damage from it that I am aware of. We’ve had some flooding, but all in all we have fared well. Hope life returns to normal for y’all soon!
I was wondering about you guys and how you held up. Glad to see you back on the grid!LOL There have been a few times when our power was knocked out for a few days at a time…oh how miserable!!! Yes, it is something we depend on quite a bit. Makes you think of pioneer days and I am so glad to be here now and not then!! 😉
