I remember during our last power outage (during the summer, luckily) my son said that the pilgrims must have been bored all the time with no power. It is so hard to keep kids occupied with no power these days. Do you have a fireplace or a wood-burning stove?<br /><br />My mom watched The Birds when I was seven and I kept peeking and getting freaked out. Some scenes haunt me to this day!<br /><br />I'm glad you got through your son's confirmation before the power outage hit. Congratulations on the big day!Randihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746936407430428943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911067505461648404.post-33982729101929850612011-11-09T04:34:13.965-05:002011-11-09T04:34:13.965-05:00All behind with my commenting due to editing my ne...All behind with my commenting due to editing my new book.<br /><br />Enjoyed your post, quite a time without power.<br />Hope all is well.<br />Yvonne.RHYTHM AND RHYMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386975261804630799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911067505461648404.post-66983251386744565702011-11-08T21:28:14.209-05:002011-11-08T21:28:14.209-05:00Ugh...((hugs))Ugh...((hugs))kisatrtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831014017505568022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911067505461648404.post-87117081947431223992011-11-08T11:50:28.891-05:002011-11-08T11:50:28.891-05:00Yikes!

I'm so sorry you had to face such hardship, at a crucial time as well. I'm not sure how I would cope in similar circumstances. Thank goodness the celebration could take place. I know how you felt there, too. Choked up is something I DO know about. Fingers crossed that from hereonin the weather behaves itself.
