Another of Julian Merrow-Smith's paintings.
The power went out AGAIN.....this has never happened before (so many power failures in a row so close together)...and it's not the best introduction to Maine for the California Son. He put up with candles for 30 minutes and then went out to drag the generator out of the garage and got it going ( I think it was raining also).........after a few hours the power came back...we think it was something on Middle Bay Road. To the left and around corner from here. We'll need more gas in the can if this continues.
Son sat at the table in the living room doing a puzzle by candle light...and then noticed lights on across the street...so I texted my neighbor to tell her the power was back on...they had gone first to the Library- so the tiny grand daughter could play (run around)..and then to dinner....no generator. So no way to cook.... My neighbor was happy to be able to come back home. Son and I were happy to have the power back-- upstairs where he has his computer and internet. ( he went right up)
We decided to move the grocery day to tomorrow. I need milk for cereal and creamer for my coffee. And oranges or pears for my daily fruit serving. I might also get red grapefruit to eat with yogurt and Bran Buds. I also need oatmeal and Bran Flakes. We have a list.....and Monday is another of those Pesky Holidays when things are Closed....like the Library.
I finished my book. I am going to buy a copy to own and read whenever the mood strikes me. A good solid love story....
I put on a load of wash...it got interrupted by the power failure- during the dry cycle and not the wash. Thank Goodness. Well, it's bedtime- past it really...so good night. Sweet dreams...
I tried to make bread, twice last week. First time it was my fault because the liquid was too cold. Second time the power went out during the proofing stage. I use the bread machine on the dough setting. Ultimately, the yeast turned out to be old not viable.
