and the power lines too! The above pictures may seem quaint, even
romantic maybe, but not at 7am on a Wednesday morning when I am trying to get one little boy off to preschool, myself dressed and all four of us fed. Top photo is my shower lighting...bottom photo is breakfast. And not that you would ever need to convince me to have a gas stove (can't cook on anything but), but a power outage is a really good time to have gas. I even made toast - stove top style :-) I swear our house is jinxed. Our power has probably gone out 5 times in the last 10 years. And it never effects our neighbors, just us??!! John says we should probably just put PP&L on our cell phone speed dial. And of course it
happens in JANUARY in the freezing cold...surely not August when who cares if you have no
electricity; it's light out till 9, everything is cooked on the grill anyway and a cold shower is actually welcome. Sigh. I kept telling myself that someday, when we build our new home, it is in a community with underground power lines and this will never happen to me again...I suppose good things come to those who have patience.
