Storms took out the power last night. There is supposed to be a back-up generator but unfortunately it didn't work. It was a terrific opportunity to check out the candles and emergency flashlights, radio, etc. Not so terrific was the absence of air conditioning or the ability to use a fan.
Happily the discovery that more candles and batteries are needed came
before Hurricane Chris or any other tropical storm comes calling.
Fortunately, my cell phone worked so I was able to receive a call from my son Tom and my grandson Noah. Noah was excited to learn that his grandma was in the dark (smile). How? Why? What happened? Noah has already proven he has tremendous talents for sports and has acted in a play. He has musical and dancing talent and excels at school. I've always known without any doubt that Noah, Hope and Jake will succeed in any life choices they make. Now I am wondering if Noah may want to consider journalism.
