I got back from a snowy Alaska on Saturday night and came home to a Snowy Washington. We got a phonecall Sunday morning alerting us of slippery roads and that church would be cancelled. That was the beginning of a long week of Snow, snow and more snow. Then freezing snow and rain. We had 3 power outages. The longest lasting 36 hours. Mike figured out how to hook up the generator to our furnace on the last outage. We labeled all of our panel switches in the electric box so next time we will be more prepared. Nickie stayed with us all week and we stayed with her when we lost power at our house the last time. We didn't drive anywhere. Mike missed a couple days of work and they closed down Seattle Boat one of theose days. There were several businesses that were shut down by this crazy storm with over 250,000 Puget Sound Energy customers without power. This week we welcomed sunshine on Monday. A lot of the snow has been washed away by rain, but there is still quite a bit of snow to remind us of last weeks' challenges. Our fence was knocked over by branches that came down during the wind storm, so we'll have to repair those slats. There was some fun times during the week as well. Our backyard has just enough slope to make a great sledding run. Here's Mike giving Decker some hot chocolate.
Lots of snow and smiles
A couple of funny things from the last couple of weeks that I want to remember:
Cody has started folding his arms when we get ready for prayers.
Decker said "Darnit" the other day and just a few minutes later we heard grandma Wood say "darnit"! LOL Made us laugh!
