Our power was out for about two hours this morning and continues to flicker on and off for a few minutes at a time this afternoon. It has really made me appreciate electricity and has also made me painfully aware of how emergency prepared we are not. This will be our wake up call to get our booties in gear!

You're still having issues with your power?? Now that would be a tad annoying. I have to admit that we're not very prepared in that area either. Hope they have fully fixed your electricity!
I hear ya! We didn't have power on Sunday for 13 1/2 hours!! I still don't know what I looked like when I went to church!
What a good story you will have to look back on! Nothing like no power to make you appreciate all the little things we take for granted!
C-R-A-Z-Y! Thanks for helping me NOT miss Oregon (but we do miss you guys).
sounds like you guys have had some crazy things happen lately. always a good reminder to appreciate things more. I had to chuckle at the sunshine post because that hardly looked like a "sunny" day with your kids in jackets and grey clouds in the skye. You've really got to move here to AZ! :)
I'm with Jac....time to move???
Glad you are all safe and sound.
