No Power for 50 hours.....

Well we have had an interesting week, on Monday afternoon a storm came through. It was super windy and some rain but it was a fast storm and we lost power. We have lost power here a lot but it usually comes back within a couple hours so we didn't think much of it. There were no down trees, or fences or anything in our area so it couldn't have been that bad!!! So we go to bed and of course the power doesn't come back on even by the time we get up, so we go and buy a generator to plug the fridge in. Then the girls and I found things to do to try to stay cool for the next couple of days. Finally Wednesday night at 8 the power came back on, that is after 50 hours without it, wow would would have thought! The most annoying part was that when I called to find out how long it was going to be, they wouldn't even tell me, don't worry I plan to call and give them a piece of my mind. Every other state I have lived in the electric companies there have always given you a time frame!!! Anyway it was an adventure for sure and we know we need a bigger generator to run our well so we plan to get one so when this happens again, it is OK and we have a lot of wind and ice storms in the winter, we will be prepared! Once the power came on last night I was excited to do the dishes and today I was so excited to do laundry, who says that?!?!?!?!?! The little things we get so used to having around!! We are enjoying a bit of a cool down, only in the 90's for the next few days, we will take it!
