Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Is this thing on?
Yep, our power came back on at about 5:00... just after we got the generator cranked up and started watching a movie.
Are you logged on?
Yah... OK... well, the phone started working here again. But I don't think it is for long. There's still a big honkin' tree laying over the wires for phone and cable between us and the next house. Can't last long.
Good news about the power and cable... Looks like I'm stuck with DVD's for the evening.
I'm glad you're safe! How was the adventure?
It was quite the adventure... and all's well that ends well :~)
Roughin' it... Wanna come back? ;~)
I have never been through wind like that. It was pretty scary at points. Especially when I heard the side panels coming off at one or so in the morning...sheet metal is loud. Didn't end up being too serious, but in the dark, in the wind, hearing the rain and things breaking all around...it wasn't very soothing.
And man, it's good having real heat again! And running water. Be nice to take a hot shower soon...
I got Rosie's message as I was walking out the door this morning, and I just got back to the computer!
I would have called you back, but I didn't want you to run down your cell phones with no sure way of recharging them!
Is it raining there yet? Were you able to patch Rosie's place up? I heard on the radio that they were advising people without power to go to the nearest shelter.
Good to have you back!
Thanks for keeping everyone here up to date on our news!
No rain here, and luckily none predicted for a couple more days. And we got Rosie's all patched up, ~almost~ good as new.
Wow! I didn't realize it was so bad up there. We are having unseasonable weather for Decemeber! It was almost 80 degrees today. In about three days, though, we are supposed to have another hard freeze.
Keeping y'all in my prayers that you'll come through unscathed.
Glad you came through ok. That sounds scary. I can only imagine how scary.
so...there I was in ~the attic~...
Yeah?
Oh, yeah - the ornaments were great! Talon and I laughed... and then we hung them right on the front of our Christmas tree. Pictures later, I hope, after we've cleaned up the livingroom a little.
Just dang. Hopefully Monday.
Good, I'm glad they made it there safely. I had intended to have them for your wedding, but just didn't get them finished.
Pictures would be great. Mine came out kinda fuzzy.
No, but it's on my "want to" list.
Welcome home.
We had our neighborhood walk tonight. I am sufficiently nogged.
I needed it after ~the attic~...
Hmmm...Luke said this week "I want to take Karate."
I said, "Okay, we can do that. Would you also like to join the swim team? Or play baseball?"
"No, I want to be a golf professional."
