went camping.IN MY HOUSE!! i dont know if u heard but OHIO,whr i live,and several surrounding states were hit by SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS friday.we lost power until sunday.i was not one of the lucky who only lost power for an hr.but i can count my blessings we had no property or structual damage.there r 2 HUGE pinetrees on both sides of my house.in the 70's this was a country store called "the TWIN PINES".
my hubby and son were both gone for the weekend so it was just my oldest daughter and her 3 yr old daughter,actually today is her birthday,and my youngest daughter.
the sky started turning black at 4pm.then the wind was rediculous!power flickered at first.thunder lightning cracking limbs.we thought the neighbors willow was doing the hula.power eventually goes out and stays out this time.
most of the 3 days were VERY BORING and sweaty stinky.no water so i had essentially 2 porta potties in my house.living out of a cooler is fun at a tailgate party not much fun whn u have to survive on the contents.we ate alot of sanwiches!i weighed myself this morning expecting bad news.shocked and pleased it was only 171.
trees and power lines were down everywhr.all u could here were chainsaws and generators.i dont have either and i am glad cus the constant hummmmm was driving me nuts!
my oldest daughter lives 10 min. away and her power came back on in about an hour.NOT FAIR!!!so her and her baby went home the next day.if u want a trampoline there is one upside down up against a telephone pole about a mile down the road.
WALMART had guards to try to control the mobs while workers threw away all their food.i got a chance to COMPLTELY clean out my frig and freezer.
my youngest daughter and i played ALOT of silly games and talked.i rewrote this jounal in my head about 50 times.had the WORST cup of coffe from a gas station.i am thankful that i am now drinking the best cup .....mine!
all in all we survived utter boredom.i used the rest of the laptop battery playing solitare.today i am back to eating healthy and exercising in the air conditioning.
i feel better getting this all out.i will try to catch up on my buddies journals.missed u all sooo much.have a wonderful POWERED up day!!
