I’ve learned the hard way, the things to have on hand in the event of losing power. About six years ago, we lost our power for right at a week, due to a bad ice-storm. We are all electric, with no other sourcr of heat. It was MISERABLE! Most of the town was without power, though oddly enough, a neighborhood near us did not lose their’s. Fortunately for us, our pastor lived there, and we went there for cups of hot coffee as needed.

I still remember the night we left there house, after having spent a couple hours there getting warm and drinking coffee, and turned onto our street. I noticed that the street lamp was on, so I knew we were back in business. Hubby and I shouted praises all the way to our house!

I lost power for a few days this winter, but went to a hotel. I’ve lost it for a few days a couple of other times in the past and stuck it out at home – it’s very difficult!
