Our back patio turned into a lake that was lapping at the door sill.<br /><br />We had a handful of mini power failures where the power would go out just long enough to kill every digital clock in the house and then come back on. Your power failure looks kind of cozy.Kathy Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02980621565856010779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486020167848564517.post-53706941861487359042011-03-21T06:56:27.300-06:002011-03-21T06:56:27.300-06:00It actually sounds sort of romantic and relaxing (...It actually sounds sort of romantic and relaxing (of course I wasn't there)! My husband is with the power company, so if the power goes out around here...I get left home alone and he goes to work. Not romantic at all or relaxing! We also have a handcrank radio, it can charge our cellphones and has a flashlight. We've never had to use it, but I keep it within reach. I hope all is well at your house.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190096917851087676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486020167848564517.post-38983744335414970562011-03-21T05:53:28.714-06:002011-03-21T05:53:28.714-06:00Hope things are better this AM!

Way back in 1976-ish when there was a three0day week and power cuts, we had an array of candles and a small cannister gas light. There's something about candle-light, isn't there?Gillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322140697547406511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486020167848564517.post-13363984194743922762011-03-20T23:41:22.596-06:002011-03-20T23:41:22.596-06:00Glad you're all okay!

It's true though; when the power goes out we're all reminded how lucky we are and how much we take for granted.<br /><br />I still have the oldie type phone; can't bear the thought of losing all connection to the outside world...sort of like backpack camping...way out there in the Cascade wilderness.<br /><br />Love your photos; wine and cheese and candle light ease a lot of the pain, no?CaShThoMahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129301440408677792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486020167848564517.post-58553835333028163042011-03-20T22:48:18.765-06:002011-03-20T22:48:18.765-06:00I still have my old push button phone.

It worked in NYC when the power would go out (for instance, I lost power for a while back on 9/11, and my parents were able to reach me thanks to that phone).<br /><br />P.S. A few years later a Con Ed station blew up, and I had no power for three days. At least I was on the 9th floor, rather than the 27th!<br />~ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©https://www.blogger.com/profile/06252371815131259831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486020167848564517.post-37627005898328509252011-03-20T22:06:16.429-06:002011-03-20T22:06:16.429-06:00sometimes those power outages can be comforting fo...sometimes those power outages can be comforting for a slower pace to your norm...the lanterns are great and wine and crackers and grapes oh my lovely really!
