Gas will still work though so we can cook. If we live there, I will for sure get a giant generator. <br /><br />Sounds like you had a fun evening though. <br /><br />Sorry about the cause of the outage ..JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13434534658681194289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505606180873399339.post-17838305595365384912010-01-24T13:49:56.164-06:002010-01-24T13:49:56.164-06:00No offense taken, I just know people like that &am...No offense taken, I just know people like that & that's where the comment came from.

The longest we've been without power was 10 hours. And it really wasn't bad. Like you, we played games and read by candlelight. We had a wood stove, put blankets over the 2 door openings and it kept it 60, which isn't bad. Outside was in the low 30's. We do have a generator we bought several years ago but so far haven't needed it....debbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505606180873399339.post-75075207922493572332010-01-24T13:18:23.237-06:002010-01-24T13:18:23.237-06:00No offense, but I always get a little annoyed when...No offense, but I always get a little annoyed when people post "And now I can just hear the kids and parents whining because they don't have power."<br /><br />I think a lot of people would be amazed how many other people enjoy when the power goes out. It isn't the end of the world - and OH so self sufficient everyone else but those of us with kids are....<br /><br />Drives me nuts. Our kids love when the electricity goes out. We have a fun time - the same fun time we were having before - y'know when the power was on?<br /><br />We lost power for 10 days when Hurricane Isabelle hit VA and you know what? We didn't suffer. It was a very fun time. No air, light, water...and we survived.

Since I have my fire heated stove I usually thinks it´s quite nice without power, to be honest as long as I know it´s not only my home affected I really enjoy it :-)<br /><br />But I do feel sorry for those loosing their lives in that plane crash. <br />Have a great day now!<br />Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.com
