I  just got my power back a few minutes ago after being without it for 15 hours.  We are on a well so when we lose electricity we also lose water and after about a foot of snow the electric lines evidently couldn’t handle the weight.

I have come to the conclusion that I wouldn’t  have made a very good pioneer.  I like hot water on tap and flush toilets.  I like microwaves ovens, coffee makers, television sets and computers.  I like being able to turn on my lamp and read when I can’t sleep.  I like hair dryers and flat irons.

Here’s the weird party of this little story.  This afternoon about 2:00 my husband decided he had enough and was ready to go to a motel.  I got a few things packed, my laptop in it’s case and we packed up his little truck to head out.  We pulled out into the driveway and he went back into the house to lock the garage doors from the inside.

After a minute or two he showed up at the truck grinning and said “guess what.”  Guess what….the electricity came on in the two minutes we were out of the house.

I just had my cup of coffee and a shower…..nothing makes me feel grubbier than not being able to wash my hands.

So, here is to technology!!!!  I love it.

Now, it’s time for a nap.  Everyone stay safe and stay warm.
