Word of the Day: Myriad Definition: Indefinite cumber, countless Used in a sentence: On a clear night we can see myriad stars in the heavens.
Yesterday the power went out for about 5 hours. It was magical. No tv, no computer {I ran the battery down earlier in the morning} no humming of appliances. The Girl, Lucy and I snuggled in my bed and took a 2 hour nap. I did a little rug hooking and played in the garden.
All the while my neighbor {with an iron lung!?!} had his generator up and running within 5 minutes of the power going out. Sweet goodness. You’d think this was high maintenance suburbia or something. Sweet gravy someone miss their morning talk shows. Or hairdryer.
Here’s hoping your Thursday is noise free,

It kind of cracked me up when you wrote that you have a pair of those over the knee boot liners especially considering how they are styled in the photo. 😉 Ha cha cha mama!

Although I know that having the electricity suddenly go out can be a nightmare for those with medical issues, I couldn’t help cracking up over your “iron lung” reference. I, for one, relish not hearing the constant hum of appliances, etc., especially since I have developed some electrical sensitivities in the past year or so. My dream would be to have a house made up of two “pods”…one wired for electricity, where I could cook, have my computer, etc., and one completely off the grid, where I could read, relax and sleep, all according to it being light/dark.

I have a whole house generator, and that was money that was well spent to me. We live in the woods, and our power is always going out. The wind blows, the power goes out. While we were doing a total rehab on our house, a neighbor came over and told us that the power goes out all the time and one of the last times we had a tropical storm come through, they were without power for a week. I called Lowes the next day. While I could live without one, it gets HOT here in North Florida, and it is really nice to have the AC running while the power is out.

P.S. I did crack up at the Iron Lung comment! You kill me sometimes Mavis!
