Today is the 4th and I am not only thankful to live in the USA but also thankful that our power was restored today at 2pm. We had a storm go through last Fri that cut power to much of Fort Wayne. We unfortunately were one of the many that lost power. Yes we went 5 days without power.
When we heard the power may be out "for a couple days" we immediately went out and got a generator to run our freezers and fridge. I also had to get another boat cover as my last one lost it's battle with the elements after the storm. While I was at work on Sat. Sarah moved everything from the fridge, to coolers and got ready to switch everything from the little freezer to the big one. Speaking of work we didn't loose power where I work but Sarah has found out the store won't get power back until after Saturday.
Once we got the generator started and running it made the 90 plus degree days a little more bearable. No we didn't have A/C but we did get to use a fan and listen to the radio a little bit. Sarah even hooked up a light so she could read,(I thought that was excessive) it was kinda like camping at home. During the outage we grilled out every nite, cause we have an electric stove. We generally stayed outside until it was time to shower and go to bed.
If we went out we couldn't leave for too long cause the geni had to be watched and filled, so we didn't stray too far from home. I did however get all the oil changed in the vehicles.
Well that's how our 4th is going and since my mandatory extra day is tomorrow we should be getting to bed early tonight.
Happy 4th everyone
