back to civilization

So our power was (finally) restored in the early morning hours on Friday. So we were powerless for a little more than 7 complete days. Hopefully I never have to go through something like that again in my lifetime. Thanks to all those who offered their support, food, shelter, showers, laundry...lol all the necessities. And thanks to Jana and Ray who came through with a generator for us. We at least had heat Thursday night! Haha though it is funny - ray fixed our furnace and we got our heat going about 6 hours before the power came back on. But anyway, thank god that's over.
