Here Come the Cavalry!
This is what our neighborhood looked like on Monday and Tuesday. The streets were lined with power trucks. Most were from Conneticut. These guys worked for days getting trees trimmed and power lines restrung. If they weren't working they were crashed in their trucks (with AC on of course! Not used to this heat!) I hope they know how much they are appreciated! Especially since it has warmed up significantly in the last few days. Then yesterday, VOILA! Let there be light! The girls and I were out, but we someone we were with got a phone call that we might have power. I was reluctant to believe it so we made a few calls. And when we got home I flipped the breaker and Regan yelled, "The lights are on!!!". I have never appreciated lights and air conditioning so much! And the day before school starts! So now we're hitting the ground running, school starting, tennis lessons, choir, etc. Life is nearly back to normal! Yeah!
