I wrote this little diddy back in 2012 (February 5 to be exact). Its been nearly three years ago already but I remember the night as if it were tonight. It’s times like this that you aren’t expecting but when they happen, it turns into one of those memories that just never go away. The girls and I had a wonderful evening due to the heavy snowfall! I think we all three slept in our bed to keep warm. Jim was doing snow removal. Sometimes…it’s the little things that just mean the most! And, to top it off, I’m certain we had a snow day the next day rather than school!
Lost power again about 5:30 last night. What do you do then? Well, start out with finding as many blankets as you can. Next, was the kerosene lamps. From there, whatever you can find to do by the light of the lamps:
Made soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for supper.
The camera flash gave us a few seconds of light 🙂
Callie reading “The Hunger Games” to me…just enough to get me hooked!
Our wintery wonderland!
P.S. We got our electricity back about 3:00 a.m. Heard some places around here will be without any power for up to 3 days. Glad it’s not us!
We were waiting for the phone call that you were coming over 🙂 Glad you have power now ~ well assuming you still do.
And I appreciated the offer. The girls, however, felt it would be “giving in” if we left. So, we just stuck with it until the end 🙂 We do still have power and the heat feels oh so good!
This reminds me of when we had an ice storm and we without power. Luckily it was before we had kids. The boys are not as amused when the power goes off as we are. 😉 Thanks for linking up to the Country Fair Blog Party.
You’re welcome! Funny how something like an ice/snow storm creates so many memories!!
