First, it got reeeeaaal cold. Then, it started snowing...
Then, it got even colder, and it snowed even more...
...and at first, it was a lot of fun...
...but then the power went out. And it got colder.
Then the power stayed out, and it got colder.
So we lit a fire and tried to make the best of it...
...we made and ate dinner by candlelight... and it got colder.
The first time, we were without power for a little over 12 hours. The second time, we got about an hour and a half of power in the middle of the night, followed by 8 more hours without power. We stayed by the fire...
...we read books, we played cards...
...and we gave thanks for the fact that our oven runs on propane! We also gave thanks for friends with enough firewood to share AND the best gumbo EVER, which they also shared. Finally, the power came back on, and with eyes wide open to everything we take for granted, we started working on our piles of laundry. But first, to brew that perfect cup of joe...
