Rainy Night in Georgia

I am so grateful for my warm and dry home. I like the view of the greening trees, too. I am getting chilly and looking forward to lighting the fire when Ray gets home in a few minutes. He called me on the way to say he is stopping to pick up my prescription at Hawthorne Drugs. I hope that he doesn't have any problems on the road.

We'll have soup with kale...and cauliflower cheese pie that we made last night. Earlier I made oatmeal-raisin cookies for my Dad, who came and brought food: roast chicken and macaroni and cheese. I added a little salad.

No power
Tree fell on the line
Starting fire

Last night, I was at a meeting at UUFA. On the way home, I got texts from Ray. Power out...buy batteries...As I got close to the turning for Three Oaks Drive, I could see an emergency vehicle with flashing lights on Prospect Church Road...All was dark at home and Ray was asleep...no TV, no ice cream (didn't want to open freezer). But, thanks to iPad, I was able to read a bit before bed. I lit a candle and put it in the bathroom for a nightlight. At 3:30, I woke and got up and blew it out. The power was back! Another thing to be grateful for!
