There will be no showing homes in Colorado Springs, today... (October 26, 2006).
Yesterday, we all enjoyed warm (60-ish degrees) weather. But... WE ALL KNEW...
Even trying to make it into a supermarket yesterday was an act of bravery. (OK, maybe not as chaotic as the Y2K frenzy...) but, EVERYONE was out stocking up. For some reason, we all believed the weatherman this time.
Lo' and Behold... Overnight the snow came in, and morning brought us snow drifts that covered our doors and cars. I LOVE it when Mother Nature gives us spontaneous "Family Days" ...! We were all griddling pancakes ... taking the last ones off the grill... when "POW!" no electricity. For almost 2 hours! And of course we cannot reach the utility company... "All Circuits Are Busy"... (We later found out that a huge chunk of the city lost power.) So, we sat by the fire and read books and wrestled with our boys (ages 3 and 11).
Things like this really make us realize how dependent we are on technology. No email. No tv. No movies. No news. No word processing. NO ACTIVE RAIN! (We had a lot of active SNOW... har.har.)
So, I sit here nabbing a few minutes of "Being Connected" before picking back up my book and enjoying the silence of the storm and the wafting smells of the crock pot (mmmm... chicken and veggies) and hot cocoa, by the fireplace.
