We have now been out of power since Sunday, September 14, around 2:00 p.m. Too many emotions, thoughts, events to post from Rusty's computer at his work (which we see as a MAJOR blessing that no power was lost since his office has only been open a month). Just a couple of quotes to tide you over until I actually do get power.
*Molly asking a stranger at Costco (where I took the kids for lunch yesterday), "Hey, can you come fix our power?" Unfortunately, he was the check out guy at Costco, but I guess looked official since he was wearing a tag.
*Sam singing a song (he composed) over the phone to Rusty, "Bye, bye, Mr. Rusty boy, I took my Chevy to the car wash but the power is out."
*Meg, this morning (the way I woke up) slamming her bedroom door, "I'm sick of stupid power."
*Ben walking into a store, "Ahhhhh, lights that work."
Thank you to many friends who have helped in more ways than you'll ever know.
I will post more later (hopefully very soon).

Oh Vicki- what a bummer for you. You have been such a trooper- I know, I have had little glimpses of watching you this week. Should I say I would trade shoes with you? I would, but I wouldn't want to:) You've handled it all much better than I would have. I mean on day 1 of blackout you had your ENTIRE freezer in the van to save it's contents. Inspired! Who thinks to MOVE the entire freezer. Someone on the ball like you.
I agree with Lacey! You've put up with more than I could handle for sure!!! We're keeping our fingers crossed and praying for you to have power soon. Hang in there!!
Wow Vick - I feel your pain. Although I have never been out for that long. Too bad we're not closer - you could have borrowed my generator (which we bought because our power was always going out and has never gone out since we bought it!!!) You should buy one - you might never lose power again :)
Hang in there!
