A little less cold (for me, least) today... but that's only because I'm at work where the power is on! At home - depending on where in the house you are - you can frequently see your breath! Brrrrr!
But we're toughing it out.
I've got lots to do here at the office, but in case anyone read the Friday post... I figured it deserved an update... and since it's lunch hour, I've got a minute or two. I received and replied to an e-mail from family friend, Mariye, so with a little help (stealing a portion of my reply), here it is.
Short and sweet, but none-the-less, an update.
We're still at the house toughing it out... and although a little cold, we're trying to make this holiday season and its' traditions stay as "normal" as possible.
We already ended up (mostly due to the tree being pulled out of the house) missing both Trish's Christmas shindig on Saturday morning & my Mom's on Saturday evening. Dina's adamant that we won't let this storm take us out of our house too, so we're sticking it out.
Say a little prayer for luck to be on our side.
If the neighborhood gets power back (maybe today), then the contractor can get in there to hopefully get power restored to the house, while they complete repairs to the garage (Thanks to Lew Samdal at Samdal Construction for keeping us near the top of their list).
God Bless!
