Another black out!

i hope you are having a WONDERFUL weekend!! here is verry cold and windy. even rained some yesterday (with a rainbow!! lol) AND we lost power!! DH and i went downtown to pick up DS after he worked all day and decided we were going to go out for dinner! YAY!! lol after arriving home, it didn't take us long to realize there was NO power! so DH & i enjoyed a book together, with him reading aloud to me but being the end of the day, it wasn't long before we lost the natural daylight too. Time for the candles to come out before it gets too dark. lol So then we sat and with boredom starting to set in for all three of us, we started pretending we were watching TV shows. LOL That turned out to be really fun!! First we orated different stories from the show Cops and it took off from there with the pretense. One show after another we did in turns! lol before one knew it, we were tired of those antics and by now it was about 9pm and with no hopes of the lights returning soon (DH called the electric company and got updates throughout the night) we retired to bed, with DS sleeping on the couch (instead of going out to his RV). Well, i usually read or have the tv on as i get ready for sleep so i asked for a story from ANYONE! lol First DH tells an AWFUL FUNNY story and of course that wound me up too much from laughing so i pleaded for another, a slower & more restful one and as DH finished off his story, DS starts one too! lol Oh my goodness, we three truly had genuine and silly fun, with no power!
Then this morning, first thing, 7:30am the phone rings, well, NO ONE felt like getting up in the COLD COLD room to answer it. of course we wondered WHO would be calling THAT early but now we are awake, well, at least DH and i. lol Sure wasn't long before the phone rang again, this time DH answered to find it was just the power company calling to let us know the power should be on here lol YAYYY!!! TURN ON THE HEAT!! lol DH took me out for breakfast and we came right back home, too windy, too cold for the swapmeet or ANYTHING!!! lol
When DS awoke (amazingly early for him) around 10:30 am and after he got awake for himself awhile he went to play a new thing he recently bought called Rock Band. What a fun game, for lack of a better word! DH was the drummer, DS the guitarist and me, the singer (again, for lack of a better word! lol) but WHAT FUN! we played for hours until DH got worn out and needed a nap! lol and that's where we are now lol DH is napping and me on the computer! lol
The wind outside seems to have died down some but still very cold out there! i will be back to edit this blog with a couple of pictures after DH awakes and gets the pictures off the camera hehe
Have a BEAUTIFUL day and thank you soo veryy much for your visit!! HUGS!!

Mike says you need a generator :) Hope you are nice and warm now - It was very cold here also, and we were lucky enough not to loose power this time...no rain just horrible winds. The little lady we take care of said it rained and snow flurries in Apple Valley - she was so excited...wish we would have gotten some here. Sounds like you all had a wonderful'old fashioned' evening at home. Sounds good to me. Take care and keep warm.
Hugs - Robbi and Mike
