I am feeling very fortunate today as we not only have electricity but also the cable came back on close to midnight last night. Not that I was up and watching tv, but my son-in-law was and said he almost woke us up to tell us, as we have been bemoaning the loss of cable to keep everyone entertained. The only discs I had at the house included Quinn's favorite Pretty Ponies. After seeing it way too many times, we were actually all starting to discuss the philosophies behind the ponies' fight with the zebra.
Our daughter, son-in-law, and their two chidren are staying with us until their power is restored which could be up to six more days. But being over-run with family is satisfying, even in our small house, and I am always grateful that Joe and I didn't lose power and can do it.
Also I look at the morning newspapers (we actually get three real print newspapers a day), and my heart breaks for those who will never return to their homes because the homes are gone. So no matter how tight it is to have four adults, an almost 4 year old girl, and an 8 year old boy in a thousand square foot house, it's still almost a delight. Besides, the shop has power and we all know where I get to go!
