Feel the Power!
31 hours without power, and it blessedly reappeared at 12:20 a.m. last night. I've lived in the boonies my whole life. I've lived in a 3rd World country. I've never been without power as long as I was in Milwaukee County. Who knew? So at midnight, I was taking a shower. One of the pitfalls of a well.
To survive, we played lots of games, ate out a lot, reads lots of book by lamplight, captured rainwater to be able to flush the toilets, and even went so far to see Cuba Gooding Jr.'s Daddy Day Camp. 31 hours in the dark and humidity will make you do some crazy things.
Hopefully the floods will hang back long enough for us to finish C-man's playset. Only the roof and slide to go. (Okay, and cleaning and staining, but that's for another dry week)
