    You might have told me and I lost the message, but did you guys get electricity back in time for Thanksgiving day? I’d been meaning to ask.

        Good, I’m so glad! I was worried for you all. Last year’s Thanksgiving we didn’t have power, so no dinner and no people over, and it was a sad and trying time. I’m glad you got power back before then. 🙂

          Were you in the middle of that huge snow storm? I’m sorry you had to spend Thanksgiving that way.

            It was last year, and yeah we were! Ohhh, it was awful. XD I can laugh about it now, but at the time it was really difficult. 😀

              I’m sorry you had to go through that, but I bet now you are thinking if it ever happens again that you’ll survive…Not thinking, “Bring it on, Weather, bring it on.” Just” Ugh, not again.” haha 🙂

              LOL, definitely “Ugh, not again!” XD But you are right, I’ll know what to expect now if it happens again. Yay for learning. 😀

          Wow! I will not complain about losing power for a week. We have another wind storm kicking up today so it may go out again, but it sounds like this is a regular sort of thing where you live. It’s hard to be cut off from the WWW when it’s become such a normal part of life. I hope your power situation gets better, Beaton!

              I was thinking much the same thing about the absence of electricity. We were getting used to it, that’s for sure. But what’s a week? Also, my parents live an hour away and had electricity, so we were able to salvage our freezer items! No flies and no jokes around here. I’m almost jealous after that description, Beaton. haha

    Hi Rachael. My post is here: http://cathleentownsend.com/2015/12/08/pirate-gold/. Pirate Gold. Could be either suspense, adventure, or fantasy. Your call. It’s only 99 words, which is harder than it sounds. 🙂

          Okay, I put it under drama, but only had time to read the first line. I’m eyeball deep in editing (and getting distracted by socializing with my online friends. 😉 ). ❤
