While we are all fine, with no damage to any of us or our property, we are with out power at this time. Currently three five days and counting...
It is amazing how having no electricity changes everything!
The electric company is working around the clock to get all the families in Texas back on the grid. Which we ALL appreciate.
I can't wait to be back on the grid, for all the things that are so important, like clean laundry, she said with a smile!
And visiting with all of you! This quick message to bring you up to date, is brought to you by the miracle of a gas powered generator and a very loonnnggg extension cord!
Thank you for continuing to visit us at Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household, it makes my day, every day!

UPDATE: electricity was restored Friday late afternoon, and while it will be wonderful to get back to a more normal schedule, I have to say, I am so proud of the community we live in and the kindness shown by everyone to all, in need or not.
Oh I hope you get your power back on soon... that is no fun to be without but I am so glad you had no damage from the storm.
ReplyDeleteJoanne, often we have a break in our water system in our rural area, but this is the first time with power for more than a couple of hours. But we are all OK and that is the best part. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.
DeleteI hope you get your power back soon. It is very inconveninet bv we are so dependent on it for everything. Glad to hear you did not have any damage and are ok.
ReplyDeleteJudee, thank you. This is unusual, but I have learned that major repairs were needed and as of now we are on day four...
DeleteGlad you are all safe. It must have been terrifying. I hope your electricity has now been restored.
ReplyDeleteGal, thank you! It is hardest on my little grandson (age 3) the concept of no power is quite over his head. But all is well with us as a family and that is key.
DeleteThinking of you, your family and the Texas community, Melynda! Grateful that you are all safe and praying that power has been restored or will be soon! Also praying for all the workers who are doing all they can to get things up and running once again!
ReplyDeleteLaura, thank you so much for stopping by, we are doing quite well, I have challenged myself to find and complete one "no electricity needed" project each day!
DeleteMelynda, we are in Texas too, but only had a few bleeps of no power, although our neighboring streets were not so lucky. So sorry you have been without power for so long. Sending prayers for those dealing with storm damage and power that is still out. Take care, Patty
ReplyDeletePatty, our end of the grid was affected by the damage in Houston. We lost power shortly on Sunday for a few hours, but by Monday at 2pm the damage was fairly extensive. We were done solid until Friday at about 4pm. But all is well and we are back up and giving it our best! Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.
DeleteWhat a nightmare for you! It's awful being without power. I'm glad that you are all safe and well. :)
ReplyDeleteJayne, thank you! It was definitely a test of skills and endurance. And I think all in all, we did OK.
DeleteWhew! I'm so happy you guys are okay. I was sending prayers your way. I really appreciate your update.
