Did You Miss Me?
Whew. Well, for the moment at any rate, I've rejoined this newfangled modern world thingy. Here's a little info about where I've been.
Actually, I've been right here. You just couldn't tell, and apparently, it isn't newsworthy outside of the immediately affected area, either. But this is some of what's been going down:
Power just finally came back this afternoon, day 5 of our blackout. Lots of folks are still without power all over the Midwest -- it's really something.
We are all fine, everything's okay, and things are returning to normal. It's been a wild wild week. Since Abby's Yarns lives here in our home, it's been down just like everything else. If you've sent me mail recently and haven't heard back, chances are I don't have the mail and you'll need to resend.
That's about all I have in me for right now, I'm afraid. It's good to be back, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed and good thoughts going out to everyone still affected all over the country.

September 19, 2008 at 6:09 amIndeed we missed you. It's possible that your area is a victim of two things - the glut of coastal LA and TX storm coverage, and the frenzy of political coverage. Still, it's difficult to be without power nowadays in our power-dependent society, and I really feel the pain of anyone who has to do without on a long-term basis. Ours was out nearly a week this time.

September 19, 2008 at 6:45 amWhat's that? Can't hear you. My ears are still ringing from shop-vaccing that weather out of my mushroom farm...er, basement.
Glad your power's back. Candles aren't very good at chilling the beer.

September 24, 2008 at 9:02 amHere in Missouri we got all the rain from the storm but not much wind. Glad you finally got your power back. Some of my family are still waiting. I know I would have gone crazy without power for so long.
