Our Weekend

Friday night, I went to Meal Makers and made some yummy food! It was a good time - I am pretty sure we will do it again next month.

The storm was beginning to get nasty on my way home from Meal Makers. Around 4am Friday night/Saturday morning we lost our power. We made a fire in the fireplace Saturday morning and burned the last of our firewood. Then we called my dad to see if he had power. We were in luck - so we packed up and went to his house. Later in the evening, our power returned- so we packed up again and went home. Around 11:30pm we lost it again! We went back to Dad's house Sunday morning. Everything was great until about 3:30pm when he lost power. We went back to our house and Alecia had found us more firewood. We all slept in the front room in front of the fireplace Sunday night. Finally, around 3:30pm yesterday we got our power back! What a happy moment!

Here are some photos of our yard and my dad's yard....

Wow!!!!
I am so glad you are all ok and the power is back!
Will be sending a survival kit soon!!!! Inflatable furnace so you think you are warm!!

Think positive ... downed trees mean more firewood!
