If anyone's wondered why I've been so quiet lately, here's the reason.

We had a record snow storm.  Normally we get two inches of snow on the ground and it's a big deal.  This year, we had over a foot.  It's the most snow my area has gotten in over 70 years.  No one knew how to cope with it and no one was really prepared for it.  My family is lucky because my father lived somewhere that got snow like that regularly so he knew what it was like and is one of those people that stock up on things "just in case." 

On Christmas Eve we lost power around 9 p.m.  The power came back on last night at 9 p.m.  Everything got put on hold until today.  We haven't opened gifts.  We had everything for Christmas dinner shoved in the fridge hoping that it wouldn't spoil.  And Dad stayed up for two nights watching over our gas stove to make sure the house didn't get too cold without damaging anything.  Dad is awesome! LOL

So a very late Merry Christmas everyone!  I haven't caught up on LJ or my mail (snail or email) or anything like that so be patient.  I'll get around to it soon. :D
