Welcome back from a newbie in Missouri. Last year, we lost power for only three days and I couldn't believe how many things we couldn't do...like heat! Quilting by candlelight is IMPOSSIBLE. Glad to know your power is back on, glad to hear about your 50th (no small feet) and in our house--wet paws on the kitchen floor just means love. :-D
See you on the boards,
