Our power was out for 2 days--but--to-day--WE HAVE THE POWER!

 The above is a picture of a mini tornado, which passed through this area 2 days go, at 5-30pm--If you look closely, there are 2 names of towns near the bottom of the "red"--The top name is "Elliot Lake", where I live. --And all that red, --a huge bad storm, passed right over us-- Actually, the city of Elliot Lake got the worst of the storm--but we had the rain and the wind--AND THAT IS THE REASON THT 

THERE HAS BEEN NO BLOG ON HERE____

You see, we lost "power"---   no phone--no house phone or cell--no internet-- and, a very grouchy HIMSELF--because, without power--NO TELEVISION--

-I kept pretty busy--(women always are busy aren't we?---)--but--92 year old men---well, he was beside himself--felt very sorry for himself--so kind of "went on strike"----decided that life wasn't worth living, and  crawled into his shell--and did not put forth very much effort to keep these home fires going! 

Every day I did go to town to retrieve something from some store that remained open, so I saw people who I could talk to----Himself would not venture out with me--so, he did get himself into "the depths of despair" which, since the T.V., is once again in action, he has returned to normal.

Lord love a Duck eh? --losing "power" when one is getting up there in age, is not good! -- They never told me that when we got ,married--many moons ago--

--well--sometimes , it lasts longer---

Now, back to the alarm ringing the other day---  Some of you were asking what it was--It turned out to be  a Carbon Dioxide Monitor in the basement, which was dated 2010 ----  We have since bought a new one--  but, with no power, and a generator working so hard in the yard, it was a good thing it was replaced before all this happened!  ---  life with a generator is not the best either, but, it's better than not having one!   Son #4, came out so many times, to fill the generator with gas---  bless his heart!

So, cherish this day---  and cherish your body-- during all the chaos without power, my walking kinda took 2nd place--but--- I was off and "hoofing" this AM---  and TESS did a short walk with me--so, she told me that she is trying to stay in this world--  

i spoke to the 99 yr old woman yesterday , and she told me that she does a short walk every day--

And she looks great! 

WE can do this too--  WE Have The Power!
