Last Saturday evening, as we were eating dinner at the Shaw's, the power went out. We didn't know at the time there was going to be an 8-hour black out. We continued to play cards by candlelight, but finally decided to call it a night - a BLACK night! Power was restored by Sunday morning in our area, but then went out again on Monday evening. Tonight (Tuesday) it went off again early evening, but came back on within an hour. You can read about what's happening at the following link:

Other than no internet, no TV, no opening the fridge to see what's available to eat... we are doing just fine playing card games with the kids. Kelsey is getting really good at "Old Maid."
So, this also explains my blog posting recently. Please forgive me as I will try to do better about updating.
