Be Prepared

There are some serious thunderstorms in these parts during the summer months.  I'm a big fan of thunderstorms but it gets a bit scary when the thunder cracks so loud that the whole house shakes.  Strangely, Rodney always seems to be out of town when the worst weather strikes.  We got a phone message earlier today from the power company warning that there was severe weather predicted and there was the possibility of power outages in our area.  Good thing we bought that generator after the last time we lost power for 4 days.  Oh, wait, no we didn't get around to buying that generator.  Curses!  Fingers crossed the power stays on and we don't have any trees crashing through the roof.  Rowan and I looked out our emergency box from the basement so we are as prepared as we're going to be with headlamp and candles.

Glad Rowan will be able to see his milkies-even if power is lost. Stay safe!!

Since we're all coming over this weekend, it would only make sense that you would lose power again... ;) Crossing my fingers for no trees crashing through the roof!

Storm is over and the roof seems to be intact, hooray! We still have power (so far) but Mother Nature seems determined to mess with me every time we have a party planned. Will keep you posted, Erin, if it's going to be another "bring your own flashlight" party.

Thank goodness to know that all's well.
