{Ice Storm 2014}

The weatherman said it was coming. I laughed at him because he's always wrong. He said "get ready - it's going to be bad." I mocked him for crying wolf - again. Then, for the first time in I don't know how long, he was right. We lost power for 44+ hours. We played a multitude of dusty board games. We spent time in the van watching DVD's while charging electronic devices. We made coffee and cooked food on our camp stove. We made it through just a little cold and smelly (because this girl doesn't take cold showers unless she's in a combat zone). And I even managed to take a few pictures! Beautiful - but it's still SC  Is it any wonder we lost power? This was only after about 2 hours of the storm I know it looks like snow It really is all ice though How we make coffee with no power Some lantern light while cooking dinner Hot food is good when you're iced in Erik doing the cooking I'm...

What a Surprise!

When I woke up this morning and saw this!  This is our neighborhood. And this is my backyard.  Now I realize that this is really no snow at all (and it's gone now too!) but I was shocked - especially living in South Carolina! CG was happy.  After our non trip to MI he was really bummed that he wouldn't get to see snow, so this little bit helped a lot!
