I am so thankful for electricity! On Friday, there was a big wind storm here in Virginia. We lost power at my place on Friday at 8 AM and didn't get it back until that night at 9:30 PM. Not having electricity for a while made me realize how much I use it and love it! I couldn't cook anything, the heater didn't work, I couldn't watch a movie, I couldn't get on the internet, I couldn't charge my phone.
There were a lot of things I couldn't do, but I did finish a book that I hadn't been able to read in a while. I did spend some quality time with some family members in the area. I did write a card to my parents. I did go to Mod Pizza for dinner with Coldstone ice cream for dessert. :) I did get to use my flashlights and emergency candles.
My candle-lit living room. It was actually quite bright, but not quite enough to read a book without a flashlight.
I am glad for what I did on Friday without electricity but I am so thankful to have my power back!

Quite the adventure. But it really makes a person appreciate electricity and realize how much we depend on it when we don't have it.
