85 mph Winds, Subzero Temps, and No Electricity
Boy, what a couple days this has been! Friday we saw some serious winds! Tractor trailers blown over the roads, cars blown off icy roads, siding ripped of homes, trees and other debris on power lines, downed lines. You opened the door to a store and the wind blew stuff off the shelves! Brrrrr!
Ken and I celebrate Valentine's Day Friday with a Date Day. When we left we had power. Nathan and Cressalyn got home from school mid day (1/2 day) and there wasn't any power. We called and checked on them a couple times and finally decided to come home after dinner at Red Lobster.
We took in a "The Pink Panther" matinee and discoverd that it was a disappointment. I was looking forward to a good comedy. Instead, it was very lame. Maybe I'm getting too old for stupid humor. I didn't like "Napoleon Dynamite" either. Anyway, we walked through the mall and checked out some sales. We also decided that we will be purchasing a home gym for the basement. Last year with some of the income tax refund we joined Lifetime Fitness. This year, since we don't have a good gym close we will get stuff for the house. Then, too, we won't have a monthly membership fee, either.
So we went this morning to the Frasers and took showers. Then Roger and Ken came back here and hooked up a generator with Terry's expertise! We now have power and heat for the house. They also have run a line from the house to the church so that we have running water, too! This means we will be able to have service in the morning.
Tomorrow is the Daytona 500!!! We are so excited! Dale Jarrett better have a better season than last year's! Rumor has it that this may be Jeff Gordon's last season! Yeah!!!!!
