power of words (ha ha)

So glad that I took and posted those photos in the last post, because...wooohhooo the power of words! The next morning we woke to the sounds of trucks, outside (it was 6:30 AM!) picking up our branches!

Now we have a pile of leaves that are matted to the ground....I'll get to that sometime later!

Day 6 no power

We are ending day 6 of no power.

Day 6.

I don't think that I can really describe the mixture of emotions-
While I am thankful to have a warm home to be staying in while we are displaced, (my mom deserves a medal for all that she has had to put up with!) I am so-0 ready to be back into our own home. To have everyone in their own bed.

I went to the house today and bagged & tossed everything that was in the fridge and freezer. Would you believe that the fridge felt warmer than the house?

I kept singing in my mind, over and over, the "theme song" of this blog ...
I keep having to check myself and try and realign my thoughts on a positive course.

SO the positive thoughts that I pulled on today were ...

I will be able to start the new year with a clean fridge, and freezer. NO leftover old bottle of something that probably should be tossed. No half eaten container of green olives. No more half used bottles of miscellaneous condiments. I will get to go "shopping" to restock that fridge in the new year.

Surely our electric bill will take a dip in rate!

Any bugs, or other critters will most likely be gone!

All the trees will be nice and pruned for the spring!

I will keep moving my thoughts in the positive direction. I will find the good-
