In the Dark

Well, hurricane Ike came through Cincinnati on Sunday (who would ever think that we would need to worry about a hurricane in the Ohio Valley) and we have been without power since Sunday at 2:30. The girls didn't have school on Monday or Tuesday. We spent the day on Monday picking up debris in the yard and then they went down the street to help an elderly lady on the corner. I took before pictures and will post them when we have power at home. Dan also got a great picture of Grace at her soccer game earlier in the day that shows just how windy it was. We are hoping that we will have power by Friday. It's getting pretty old, but it could be worse. It could be 20 degrees outside. If it was winter, we would have lost our pipes by now. We have been fortunate enough to be able to cook on the grill, eat outside, play outside, and the weather has been pleasant enough that we don't need the air conditioning. I just keep telling myself to count our blessings!!!
