We woke up in the wee hours of the morning to find that our power was out. We didn't find out until much later that our neighbor's tree had fallen onto the power line that connects our homes and both of our homes were without electricity.
Steve stayed home from work for me because I don't deal well with no power. We are on a well and the well is run by electricity. We can't pump water to the house, so we can't flush toilets or take showers. The only water accessible to the house is what was already "in the system."
The power co. didn't know our power was out until the neighbor called and they came out right away. We went ahead with our plan to go to the movies. We used a Christmas gift card given to us by Uncle Scott and saw Alvin & the Chipmunks. Cute movie! It was Anna & Adah's first trip to see a show and they did very well for being under two. Steve finally had to take each of them and put them to sleep. They don't seem to sleep for me, but he has the touch.
We then went to Bollweevil for lunch where I had a fantastic Steerburger. I love those things. Now we're just takin' it easy and veggin' out, except for Joe; he has a two hour soccer practice.
