We have been in the middle of a
good old eastern snowstorm
since New Years night.
yesterday was a perfect time
to pack up Christmas for another year
and then relax with
a cup of tea
and maybe even a movie
my plans got derailed around 6:00
last night
we were finishing up
packing....organizing
when bang
the power goes out
supper is
IN the oven
and had about another 1/2 hr
to cook
Crap!
candles...candles
flashlight??
with the wind blowing
what seemed like hurricane force
we hunkered down
to wait it out
Around 7:30
I checked on supper
and it was cooked
so we ate by candlelight
not like we had a big choice
no rice or pasta or potatoes
just meat and veggies
it was good
and I was so glad
I put veggies in with the meat
there were so many things
I still wanted to do
oh well
pick up a book
and read by flashlight
I have not done that in years!
The power came back on about
10:50
I did the dishes
got a couple of more things done
when it went out again
we looked at each other
and laughed
might as well go to bed
after all it is 11:20....
it was only off for 20 minutes this time
thank goodness
but we headed to bed anyway
then the phone rings
long distance love
I was on the phone til almost 3
gotta love girl talk
so today I finish what I started yesterday
hubby with clear away the snow
even though it is still blowing a bit out there
and maybe ~ just maybe
I will have my tea and movie tonight!
Happy Sunday.
