A Haven for Vee

You Guessed Correctly

Just got our power back on after three days. Oh my! I'll never make Pioneer of the Year.

So much to do; so little time. See you next week!

  5. So glad your power is back on, Vee. I agree, pioneering isn't for me either. Once we were out for 7 days ... horrible.

    Have a great weekend ~
    TTFN ~

  12. Really Vee? Sorry to hear that. Being a pioneer woman today is not fun! Did you lose stuff in the fridge and freezer? Did you have flooding? Take care. Blessings, Pam

  16. Being without electricy can present its challenges. We look forward to hearing all about your! I'm with you Vee, roughing it means the Holiday Inn. Hope you didn't suffer any damage.

  17. Oh oh, I was afraid of that. Glad it was only 3 days, that's long enough! More importantly, you're okay. We've been thinking about you and glad to hear from you. Take care!

  18. Glad you all are safe! Roughing it is not for me either! We went a week without electricity about ten years ago in an ice storm that started on Christmas. Our well wouldn't work, toilets wouldn't flush--so we camped out with neighbors with a generator! Spiked eggnog helped a bit! lol

  19. I was thinking of you earlier when we were driving back from Nashville. I am so glad you have power. It's amazing what we take for granted until it's taken away! I hope you all didn't have too much damage to your place. Those winds and high power rains can really do a deed!

    Take care,
    Jen

  20. As I thought! Hope all is well in your corner. I am remembering the ice-storm of 1972...when we were without power for three days. Not fun memories.

  21. Well, see when I emailed you and you replied I thought you were fine!

    I am sorry to hear you were without power, but so glad it is back on now! I know how uncomfortable it can be with out power!

    Hugs,

  23. Welcome back Vee! so good to hear from you! No power is NO FUN. We're so spoiled aren't we! Looking forward to hearing more - hope you had no damage in your area!

  24. So glad you have power again. I wondered about that. And I'm also glad that you seem to have weathered the storm well.

  29. I've never ever not had electricity for longer than a day.......welcome back. Must be terrible dealing with food items and no computer.....goodness gracious!

  30. Isn't it wonderful to get the power back! I am so appreciative of the hard work by the electric company!
    (we only lost it for 24 hours. we were fortunate)

  31. Well HELLO TO VEE...sure glad you got power back. Lots of folks out there still without.

    ReplyDelete
  32. That has only happened here once and once was enough! It was after a very bad storm and thankfully, it was June so we were able to grill and cook outdoors but no refrigerator or air condition and my daughters had to study for finals by lantern light!

  36. Sorry you were without power for so long - it's hard. I'm seriously thinking of buying a generator. We were once without power for almost two weeks after an ice storm.

    ReplyDelete
  37. So glad to hear that all is well again. I hope that everyone who was effected is now back on track.

    Take care and I hope this week is a better one for you!

    Best wishes,
    Natasha.

  39. Welcome back dear pioneer woman. We missed you.

    Somehow we didn't lose power this time. We had all the candles, flashlights, crank lights and radios ready, but we were ok.

    Glad you're getting back to normal...or is it normal??

    Love,

    S

  40. Living off the grid...gotta love it. Not!

    Thanks for the sweet note on my house post. I am sure you would be a totally amazing neighbor and I would be over at your house all the time visiting. Your home and you are always very, very welcoming!!!

    Sorry to read you are both dieting. Never diet with a man - they always lose 20 lbs in no time and it takes us a decade to lose that much. I really hate food restrictions but we are living that reality too - lots of veggies and whole grains. It is depressing. I miss my sweets. I lose 3 lbs and then celebrate with chocolate. I will never be one of those starving types. Some amount of restraint is good for health, but I don't believe in all these normal weight people constantly dieting. It tires me...half the women in my office are rail thin and still dieting while I slowly gain. Ugh....
