Power Outage
The power went out in the big storm “Derecho” Friday night about 11pm and was out until about 7pm Sunday night. Temps in the low triple digits was not the best time to be without power. Sunday morning we dragged a really long extension cord several houses down to Steve and Rachel’s — they have a generator. And Julia came by for a visit (until she got bored watching Robert play computer games).

The power got us fans and a working fridge — too late to save the contents — that was enough to keep our spirits up and determination to camp out one more night to see if the power would make it back on.

And it did :)

Of course, the DSL is still out — we’ll work on that tomorrow…
