Have ya'll missed me?????
Oct 11^th, 2009 at 9:12am

Since Thursday night I've been on a "survival course".... Sometime during the night my electricity went out and just came back on a little while ago.

Now being in the country we can survive without power EXCEPT we're on a WELL... and it needs power to get us WATER.... It's HARD to survive without water....

Not thinking this power outage would last very long, we did not panic. We got the 5 gallon water jug out of the barn and boiled coffee on the grill - no biggie, BUT after about a day of this - (the next morning) it was getting a little bit "cranky" around here.

No, of course we DO NOT have a generator (this doesn't happen that often). But the SECOND day of this we DID borrow a generator that would work the well pump and WATER is WONDERFUL and there was enough HOT water left in the water heater for a BATH (no one can imagine how wonderful a BATH can really feel! - or how great is is to FLUSH a toliet!).

Candlelight has it's uses, but to light a house... ummmmm. And the weather was awful - it got COLD. Ok, we have a fireplace and it was going, but it's in one end of the house and my bedroom is in the other, so it was COLD there.

This morning I woke up to another day of dark and was sitting there contemplating NOTHING and lo and behold the LIGHT came on --

Today I'm a happy camper. I'm WARM, have HOT water - the toliets are flushed, my hair is washed (and dried) and we SURVIVED our ordeal.

And I have a COMPUTER again, so my withdrawal is over...

And how did your weekend go?

Hugs BD Kiss

Sounds like not much fun Barb. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

I know how you feel. Gone are the days when this kind of thing was just an adventure. I get pretty testy without my microwave and coffee maker.

Last spring we had more than a day without hot water too. Good that I had had a bath a week before. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

Except my idea of roughing it is a suite in Vegas with no room service... I throughly enjoyed a "warm" house last night with a TV going and coffee made this morning and my computer all fired up, etc... Don't think I'll take all that for granted again any time soon.
