We've entered day 7 of no power. May I say that this is really getting old?
Thankfully, the girl's preschool had their power restored Wednesday so the little urchins are warm and happy. I'm hopping between Starbucks, the library and other warm places. My husband has offered his office as a refuge, but I just can't see sitting there all day.
My studio is lonely, but it's just too cold in there to work. Maybe I'll take some cotton and threads outside to stitch a bit. After all, it is warmer outside than inside these days.
Sorry for whining a bit. Thank you for listening.
7 days is a long time
ReplyDeleteesp. with small children
to be w/o power
years ago we had an ice storm
that took out the power
for maybe 10 days?
we had candles, oil lamps and the wood stove
(we heat only with wood)
we gathered water from the melting ice
cooked on the wood stove
we were actually a little disappointed
when the power came back on
it was romantic
and quiet
normal life was suspended
fortunately it is still reasonably warm
thinking of you
while I plan a surprise bonfire party
for Boone with his girlfriend
gathering glow bracelets, etc...
xox - eb.
eb - I can honestly say that I will be thrilled to have the power restored. Candle light and fires in the fireplace may never be romantic again. Not after this week. Hope Boone enjoys his bonfire party. Sounds like loads of fun!
