What a day....

What an interesting day we had today. Last night about 7pm we had a major storm come through here. I'm talking rain, wind, lightning, and oh did I mention RAIN? We ended up with about 2 inches of water in our basement and spent most of the evening sweeping, pushing, and mopping water to the drain. But that wasn't even the fun part......... The fun part came in the form of a power outage. We were without power (including the phone) for 27 hours. All day today. Thank goodness that we live close to Tom's Mom, we took all of our freezer contents over to her house for a little sleep over! Power was finally restored at 10:30 tonight. Just in the nick of time, there is only so much you can cook on a gas grill!
