Life Off the Grid
We’re living off the grid here at Chiot’s Run, we didn’t leave the grid – the grid left us. We lost power on Sunday night around 8pm (while canning pears, photos will be posted when we’re back on-line), the electric company says we’ll have electric again, “Possibly by the 21st”. Good thing my sister & brother-in-law had a generator they loaned us to help keep all those berries in the freezer in tip top shape. So we’re busying ourselves with canning (good thing I have a gas stove) and working outside (we have tons of sticks to pick up). See you sooner than later I hope.
Thanks to Panera Bread for providing internet service for this posting (and a delicious lunch).

Sure glad you didn’t lose those pears or beautiful berries!

By the 21st? Are you kidding? I lived on Cape Cod when I was a kid, and we took direct hits from hurricanes and had our power out for a shorter amount of time than that! We were glad to have a grill and a gas water heater too!

We were without power for 27 hours. Thank God, no damage to the house. I have a post about our survival story in my blog. Check it out sometime.
