And then there was light...

Praise the Lord...we have lights.
We thought it was going to be 14 to 21 days and Saturday night we were blessed with lights. It's amazing what electricity and air conditioning will do for your outlook on life. And to sleep in your bed too.
We went to daddy's for the storm because in Westminster our lot is nothing but old trees. We also have a dead tree next to the house in the back yard that we have been trying to get cut down for a couple of months. Our schedules just haven't worked out for the tree man and Danny to be at the house at the same time. Anyway, we were very blessed. We only had a limb through the roof and Danny was able to patch it up for now. We really thought we would come home to a house full of trees.
Once the storm was over we came back home with a generator. We were able to run a small a/c window unit to keep us cool. We all slept in the den since the a/c didn't quite make it to the back of the house.
I realized something through all of this. The internet is the reason why the house and clothes don't get cleaned all the time. Without computers and internet this last week I cleaned house, washed all of the clothes, cleaned out closets, and reorganized the drawers in my kitchen. Things I've been saying I needed to do but was "just too busy". Now I realize what my "too busy" is. Go figure!!!!!!!! Am I willing to give it up????? Let's see...clean house - g0 online - wash clothes - go online - clean out closets - go online...Nahhhh...the house can wait!!!!!
I hope that everyone came out as well as we did through Gustav.
