Out Of Power

Last night was one of those "camping in the home" nights. We had really high winds yesterday and most of last night; so at 4 PM yesterday, the power went. Gravity called the power company and they said it would be back at 4:30. At 4:45, Gravity called again and he was told that crews were working in the area. At 6:00 another call was placed and there was an even more nebulous message. Finally, Gravity stopped calling when the message from the powere company stted that there were numerous outages.....

Esh was with friends so he had power. Gravity and I had dinner at the apartment as it still had power. When we got back to the house, we fired up the generator so everything in the refrig. was okay. We got every lantern and flashlight we turned them out so we could walk around the house safely. It was predicted to get to a low of 28 degrees so a fire was built in the fireplace and the oil heater was brught donw from storage. We put a sweater on the dog with Lupus and headed to bed. The temperature in the middle of the night got way down in the sixties and Gravity heard the generator beginning to sputter which meant that it needed more gas, Just as he was heading out of the door to add gas, all of the lights came on!!! So cinnamon twists will be eaten yet another Sunday morning.
