Power Out!

After going out for Peking Ravioli and a Mich Ultra with a friend, I came back to a dark neighborhood and everyone sitting out on the patio. NO POWER!!! Right in the middle of Big Brother, everything suddenly shut off... It must have been everyone with their AC on because of this heat. We would have loved to stay out in the dark but the ferocious mosquitos were feasting on us.. so into the HOT HOUSE we went. They boys amused themselves with flashlights and played UNO in the dark. We adults just sat like lumps in our chairs feeling helpless without our electricity. After about an hour, we all gave up and went to bed only to be awakened hours later by a much needed thunder and lightening storm. It was beautiful! I slept with every windown open and the cool breeze was appreciated more than ever! Hope this is the end of the heatwave.. I, for one, have had quite enough.
