Yeah – It has kinda’ been a mess around here.
I tend to forget how much I enjoy the luxury of power – until it is gone. I don’t ever really think before flipping a switch or plugging anything in. Really, honestly, do you think about these things?
- Being able to see later than 4:30 at night
- Taking a bath, flushing the toilet, or getting a glass of water
- Keeping the house heated to above 40 degrees
- Making a phone call or using the internet
- Knowing what is happening in the news
- Being able to vacuum, or wash clothes
- Drinking warm coffee
- Knowing what time it is
Power. It is oh-so-useful.
I love these guys!

And some came as far as Michigan and Canada just to help us. A big thank you to all of them who worked long hours to help. Your are right Sheryl, we don't how wonderful we have it until it is taken away.
