UnPlugged

Our part of town was without power for 56 hours straight this week!  We've gotten used to frequent power outages and our water being shut off, but this was a longer inconvenience than usual.

James & I had to beg ice from local fast food places to keep our fridge and freezer cool (save the cheese!!!), and even still we had some nicely curdled milk for coffee the last couple mornings.  But that wasn't such a big deal, because the coffee maker didn't work.  Though the first two candle-lit evenings were kinda' romantic and fun, I was not looking forward to a third!

The electricity was turned on just about an hour ago, and James & I are happily charging all our devices and frantically trying to catch up on emails.  Hello everyone.  It's nice to be re-connected to the technological world.
