Quick thinking had me throw the noodles in the soup within a couple minutes of the blackout, so we were still able to enjoy a "romantic" candle-lit dinner for three...followed by cozy fun and games in the living room until bedtime. The shutters even kept Charlie's room warm enough to put him down up there -- and with the power coming back on at 8:00 (beating last year's time by 14 hours!), it was just a minor winter-blip in our day!
And best of all, with my new kindle and it's handy-dandy light, I was able to read the evening away until the power came on -- you gotta love technology!
"Boating" by firelight
Wow! Sounds like a crazy day! I worked from home today and am doing the same again today. A friend wrecked while driving along 152! Stay warm! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't know it was that bad around here. We had a flicker around 4:30, but that was it. Glad it didn't last long for you guys!
