Snow 2012

Wow were we shocked to wake up to all the snow! I think we got probably 10 inches here.  We lost power Christmas Day at 6:30pm and didn't get it back til Friday, December 28th at about 3.  That was a LONG time without power.  I can honestly say I wasn't the easiest person to deal with.  Mom and Dad saved our freezer food by bringing us a generator.  It was great to have just one light at night and the fridge working.  We slept on our sleeper sofa- which I will NEVER subject a guest in this house to- SO uncomfortable.  The fireplace worked and provided a little warmth.  I cooked dinner by candlelight and lantern.  I'm so happy we have a gas stove and hot water heater.  At one time, the house was 55 degrees inside- insane!!! 

On Thursday, I had about had it.  So, Luke and I went to Chili's for dinner.  I think that was the best meal I have ever had.  It was in the heat, with lights, and hot food.  Wonderful!!!  Luke even rigged up a huge battery to the TV- so one night, we could watch the news.  I never watch the new, but it was so good to see Ed Buckner and Craig on THV...it's the little things.








 Old Snoopers- not too fond of the snow!
 Stormy was actually smart and walked where there wasn't snow!

 BJ would have been a great sled dog- he loved the snow!!!

 Samson couldn't figure it out!
