power on

It's been 5 long days without power. The storm took down power lines, it took 5 days to get restored. We are all electric! No water or cooking !! While waiting for the hot water tank to fill up, for a nice hot shower, I went and played with my sewing machine!

So glad you got the power back. I burn most of the lights in the house and hate to be without lights.

What can you do without electricity? Basically nothing!!! Oh I know there are a few things but they are a lot harder. I am glad you are back on the grid!!
