The start of America's Grateful Week

Tweet

I'll be busy on this coming Thursday. Busy rolling pie dough and carefully taking out china from the cabinet that only comes out three to four times a year. I might as well start up early being grateful. This afternoon I headed into the state of "thank you very much!" when the electricity came back on. We were going about our business, having a sleepy Sunday and wow! The smoke alarm started beep, beep beeping. Leah dog is afraid of that high pitched racket with all her big dog bones. She shivers, she shakes, she does her best to climb up onto my lap and oh GAWD!! Do not knock my recliner and me backwards against the wall. I do not like the Emergency Room. Our temperatures did go above freezing this afternoon. About ten degrees above. Not bad but not fun to sit in a cooling house at that coolness, wondering when we would get power. Power to heat us and power to run the pump so that water would again come from the faucets and water to flush toilets. Huge thank yous! to the folks who headed out on a cool Sunday and made the electric transformers deliver power again. That took two hours but the job was done. Thank you very much. I have soup starting to boil into a tasty supper cause of you.
