"Not Fun!"

Or is it? We have been without power now for about 36 hrs and boy how much fun we have had. Work was called off for me anyway, so the first day Reese and Nat and I hung out at home. I worked on getting the DVD player on the computer to work for about 2 hrs Tuesday morning and that never worked. Then we played matching games until daddy came home. Ben and Shayna called to see if we wanted to go and eat. Jo and Shannon called to tell us they had power and to come and stay with them. Then they called and said never mind they no longer had power and they were going to a hotel they booked way ahead of time just in case. So, we went ahead and went to eat with Ben and Shayna. Little did we know, that we would not be able to make it back to our house due to trees falling all over the place. So, after 5 different tries, we gave up and took Danny and Theresa's offer to stay at their house. They didn't have power but since they were on city water, they had cold water at least. They had gas logs too that were very, very, warm. So we went over there and had a very nice night's sleep. Danny got word that Home Depot was getting a shipment of generators in this morning and off him and BB were to get one. Once that happened, we had tv and warm water for a shower. THAT WAS GREAT!!! Even though it hadn't really been that long since I had a shower it still felt great probably because we are unsure when the next one will be. Then daddy came back to get us and venture back home to MM and PP. We were also bringing home a generator. That is how I am typing the blog right now. So, although we don't have water, we have a fire place and every now and then we will have computer and tv. We will see. Right now I need to get up and help PP cook the grilled cheese on the grill! Yum. I dare say, and let the adventure begin. We have absolutely no idea how long this will last. Pray not long, but pray for those so much less fortunate than us.
