First person that came to my mind was you!!!! <br /><br />I was getting ready to send the picture via e-mail and didn't want to oust you on a public domain with our Bostonian relatives for "wishing" (praying) for snow. I feared that a "some of our cuzzins" may start hailing snowballs in your direction. <br /><br />I'm glad you got your wish. However, now that you went public and admitted it to the blogging community.... hmm. Well, I guess your on your own ~ kiddo. Good luck!!!! <br /><br />Make sure you duck. ;-) AND If it's any consolation ~ I love ya. Love, Marg. <br /><br />(psst.

The kids had been bored so we had pretended that there was a blackout and that we were snowed in, to make it a bit more realistic we had switched off the fuse that covered the hallway, bedrooms and living room and made supper over the open fire in the living room. The kids, tho they are no longer children, still talk about that first simulated blackout. We probably repeated it 10 times or so, but the first time was really something special. Just a suggestion, you don't need a real blackout to cook on the living room fire place :)<br />MimsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-36221280775135370002011-01-28T01:26:11.700-06:002011-01-28T01:26:11.700-06:00Thanks for the trip into your adventure.

What little did pop scorched and burned horribly. Granted that was 20 years ago, but I remember it vividly. So you may want to test it before you plan on it with only a fire.<br /><br />We have an old-fashioned wire mesh basket w/sliding lid that is fabulous on fires.

It is so cozy and fun to be snuggled in your home, with no electricity, reading by candle light. I love the snow and how the world becomes clean, bright, and glittery. And the muffled silence. Delightful.<br /><br />Now, four years ago when I had no power for 9 days, I was calling the electric company crying, begging, pleading...but I still like them! ;)scarfoot79https://www.blogger.com/profile/01291250114236372321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-46234717349944348662011-01-27T21:01:38.050-06:002011-01-27T21:01:38.050-06:00That.is.awesome!That.is.awesome!Kahlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09062732728748588097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-3867247497644557762011-01-27T21:01:19.624-06:002011-01-27T21:01:19.624-06:00So happy you got your wish :)So happy you got your wish :)Bird's Eye View Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813489889625737678noreply@blogger.com
