You might be suprised how enjoyable a Sunday without power is. Shortly after our lights went out, Sarah and I walked the dogs in the pouring rain. We stopped and talked with neighbors about what news we've heard and shared our "what we felt" stories. The rest of the day was spent reading books and the newspaper, doing sudoku puzzles and talking with friends. My friend Susan brought me over two bags of ice which I placed in my freezer and refrigerator. Laurie came by twice to chat and share news from the neighborhood. Vicki and Michael invited us for a cookout--I volunteered to bring the beans! Jamie and Christina were dears and allowed me to plug my refrigerator into their generator. John, Sarah and Alexis studied for about three hours for their PSAT's.
The power came on right before the 5 p.m. cookout. We gathered at the neighbors with our food contributions and sat around "talking story" about our adventurous earthquake day!
