Day 3 With No Power

We had a "humdinger" of a storm (well several storm systems) move through here on Wednesday, during which we lost power. There are power poles and trees, etc. down everywhere. We've been getting by on a generator - the only thing working is our phone line, but not our phones because they need electricity! So, I'm uisng my laptops battery and plugged in to the phone line! I have some pictures of the area I'll post later. Most of all, yesterday, I couldn't stop thinking of our friends who were returning from China with their new daughter. They did arrive home yesterday afternoon, but all I can think about is after being away for a few weeks, with 5 children, there must be a mountain of laundry! I'm also thinking of coming home with the new baby, plus a 2 year old and having no power to warm up food or see at night. To the B family, my heart goes out to you - but I'm glad you're back safely! Let's pray we get our power restored more quickly than the date we're being told!!
