Had a rough night last night...big storm knocked out power about 8pm and it stayed off till about 2am...
We rode it out and I kept thinking about the people out in Kentucky...
It was miserable...heavy rain and loads of lightening. The lightening hit a transformer and we were in the dark. I had just bought a solar generator so had lights and fans. In a 200 year old house a whole house generator is scary but my little solar generator did the job.
Anyway...I over slept today so am about and hour behind and worn out ta boot!
Gonna goof off today...

Gonna goof off today... Glad that you are safe. Seeing pictures of Kentucky sure makes us count our blessings. When we went to STL last Thursday we drove in torrential downpours from Rolla on. Had a NOAA alarm at Fenton about flash flooding and saw some at I 44/I 270 exit ramp. It was a scary trip, going up. We were in the center eastbound lane of I-44 and a west bound truck on 44 hit a pooling of water that enveloped our car like a tidal wave. Couldn’t see a thing.Took us 5 hours to get there. Normally a 3 1/2 hour drive. Four streets over from our son, they had water up to the hoods of cars. We too are talking about a generator. Didn’t know that there was a solar option . Take care Marilyn and rest up! I’m off to finish laundry and organize my pantry storage area. It’s gotten out of hand!

Solar generator isn't whole house...but I do have a few lights, the fan, the TV, and can run the frig off and on to keep it cold.
Hope we don't have any long term outage like the ones we somtimes get with hurricanes.
I got a Generac...might get a second one just for good measure.

Gonna make a town run to go by the local vegetable stand, Tractor Supply for dog food, and Food Lion to pick up grocery order...then home.
Will be doing some major afternoon goofing off...too hot to do much else.

Nothing. Fibromyalgia has flared up big time. Need to slow things down, and just rest today.
