For those of you who are keeping track, we have had a windstorm, snow, another windstorm, and floods. And, we aren’t even to winter yet. Yikes. Our power went out on Thursday evening, and didn't come back on until yesterday (Sunday) morning.

Thankfully, we have Natural Gas so we could shower, cook on the stovetop, and huddle around our gas log fireplace. I giggle because when it’s dark outside and you are sitting in the dark, you find yourself saying things like, “It’s 7:30, I think I’ll turn in”.

I also had the pleasure of seeing my Goddaughter’s husband tonsured a reader yesterday at St. Spiridon’s church in Seattle by the Bishop , and then having coffee with Lizzie It was a good day.

So, stay safe and warm whatever the weather is in your neck of the woods. And, thankfully, I see The Office
will be re-run this week, as our power went out before the show started. Whew.

Isn't your gas connection fired up by electricity? Ours is, so when the power goes out, so does our hot water. :-( At any rate, hope things settle back down real soon -- every time I read about these things, I think of you.

Many years ago we had a similar situation... 'cept in reverse --no gas but we had electricity.

Fortunately our stove and water at the time were electric, but our heat was gas.

In those times where it has been taken away, we learn how much we depend on gas and electricity.

Being a pioneer seems like a fun idea, until it is forced upon us.

It will be a fun memory for the boys... "hey Mom, remember the time we didn't have any electricity...?"
