With the threat of Hurricane Irene approaching I was wondering what you miss most when the power is out. What I miss the most is my microwave. The stove still works, I have propane but the fridge will be out. So need to get everything cooked as it will last longer when it is no longer frozen, and the lights will be out, need to find candle holders. But the microwave now that is used all the time in our house. Oh yes and the Computer and TV. As long as it is light out I can hand sew. Need to make sure project is ready for that phase. Also need to get some big buckets of water ready for flushing too.
The longest we have been without power from a storm is a week. I would never have made it in frontier times LOL.
