power outtage

Well, when the big storm hit us, we had no power for 5 days! It was all very interesting, but I was more than ready when we had power again. :) Driving home one day, it had just snowed, and I was lucky enough to end up right behind the snow plow! Best person to be following! We were lucky, the roads were plowed and the snow only stuck around for about two days. The power however took a bit longer since there were 150 mile per hour winds rushing about. Gale force, I believe they called them.

During this lovely power outage it was also my Dad's birthday. We had planned a big chocolate cake and flowers, the whole nine yards. Well we ended up with a big cookie and a little candle. Ah well. It's hard to bake without power.
