My attempt to do daily blogs has once again been hindered by elements out of my control. On Sunday, September 14th we suffered loss of electric due to high winds on the outside band of Hurricane Ike. Power was off until Wednesday and I left for Chicago on Thursday morning.
We still had water and natural gas so the power outage wasn't too hard on us. We could still bathe and cook and with a substanitial supply of candles we did just fine. It was so quiet in the evening and the full moon lit up the yard. In talking with friends about the blackout we all remarked on how nice it was that neighbors were out visiting and kids were no on electronic gadgets but biking and skateboarding or just hanging out.
One of our trees fell on the next door garage but miraculously no damage was done. Jim helped chop the tree and clean up the mess so all is well.
A few unlucky souls are still without power but we're hoping they, too, have electric soon.
