Our power is on ..... at least for now

Now Monday evening,  around 8, and we have had power for a couple of hours,been off since Sunday evening around 5. OH, the joy, when the lights go on. We were informed, via the radio, that we may not have any power until this coming Sunday. We have had water though.

I had a small battery operated fan that helped. Had a small cooler, but no ice, so used a frozen chicken and a frozen turkey breast. 

The AC is on, ceiling fan,TV is on, and the computer is up and running, life is good, for now. Another storm may come in tonight or tomorrow, so we could lose it again. At least no freezer or frig full this time, threw it all out today. A few days ago we receive some lobster tails and steaks that we had ordered, we lost them.

Tonight I sweated outside, grilling chicken legs, 12 of them, smallest package they had they were about done when the power came back on. Got involved turning things off and on and burned the legs, at least very well done.

So, for now, life is back to normal, except the kitchen overhead light does not work, what's with that.

MANY trees down, our friend Mary lost part of her roof, thousands still without power,  perhaps omens of things to come ....... Someone predicted blackouts .... maybe he was right.....
