Yesterday was laundry day, cleaning the church and getting ready for the trip. I only fixed a few meals this week so we could be sure and have the fridge cleaned of left overs before we leave. So, we ended up going to Cagney's Restaurant a couple of miles down the road from us and ordered enough that would take us through lunch today, too. We have just enough left overs for a bite before church and we are ready to go! :D
The camera didn't capture the sun's setting colors the way I was seeing it with my eyes, but it still made for some pretty pictures. The wind was scheduled to start blowing at 4 pm and it was right on time!
Started blowing the clouds across the horizon. It got so fierce that it knocked some tree branches or a tree or something over into some power lines til we ended up in the dark...............
...............and spent almost 2 1/2 hours in the dark. I still had my last load of laundry in the dryer when the electricity went off. Tim used the light from his iPad to find matches in the kitchen drawers so I could light some candles. I ended up finishing the sorting of the last load of laundry, which happened to be dry when the lights went out, by candle light so I could pack what I had washed for our trip. I am thankful for candles! It made me think of how people must have done things way back when there was no electricity for lighting yet! I guess that is why they went to bed early and got up early! I cannot imagine reading by candlelight until 1 a.m. But, sometimes I think all the modern conveniences that we have has made us into whimps! We don't know how to act when they are gone! I wonder what people did, who were night owls, back 150 years ago?
Anyway.......that's it for me today. I'll try to give a daily report on our trip with some pictures! Have a great week!
