Our power went off yesterday afternoon about 5pm due to a tree down and came back on at midnight. Since a Guatemala mission team prep meeting was already scheduled at our house, we met with candlelight and flashlights. It was a true test of the team practicing flexibility which is key on mission trips. We borrowed the across the street neighbor's microwave to defrost Alex's homemade squash. She was intrigued with the candles and adapted well to the dim lights. While going to bed with no lights, we were suprised and excited to wake up to the ground covered in snow. The snow poured harder as the morning continued. It was beautiful! I so wish Alex were old enough to play in it. This is our first snow this winter here. We usually get at least one snow...and they are always picture perfect with drivable roads. We haven't had a bad ice for about 2 years thankfully. As I peer out the window, the grass glares back as the snow has now melted. :( At least we captured it by camera and have our electricity back. I'm so thankful for electricity!
