After Ginger and I woke up yesterday, we started to fill ice chests and coolers with some snow. Then we began packing up the upright freezer in the back room. We moved inside to pack up the indoor refrigerator and freezer. As each cooler was packed up, we topped it with some more snow and put them outside on the front porch.
We've been reading Indian Captive: The Story of Mary Jemison, by Lois Lenski, together recently. We read a total of 4 chapters throughout the day. I think the book is great and I'm very interested in it, so each time Ginger asks if we can read more, I'm quick to oblige. Honestly, the book would be finished by both of us, I think, if we were reading it silently and it is only my voice holding us back of getting it completed.
We played a board game.
We cleaned.
We made grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch. (Thank goodness for gas.)
After dh came home from plowing (with McDonalds), we all sat around the couch and talked.
We went to bed at about 8:30, tired from our long day of doing not so much.
So, yes, 33 hours without power was not so bad, now that my coffee is made, my email is checked, my etsy online shop is ok, my facebook status is changed, and my blog is updated.

Hi - I'm a new follower. Found you through the homesteading carnival. I felt the same with everything being "not so bad" when we disconnected our cell phones and went with wireless internet and voice over internet for our phone - then the tower "went down" and we had no internet and no phone! We are saving a lot of money monthly and I still think it was a good decision - now that it all works again!
Have a great day!
