Yet again, wind turns things upside down around Central Ohio. Are you all o.k? For us, it was just a completely sleepless night with no power. All in all, that isn't so bad. It could have been a lot worse. I am thankful that we made it out with no reports of any serious injuries. We had no power for about 12 hours. Really, just a minor inconvenience. It was fun trying to maneuver my away around the house with just a candle, trying to get ready for work. But again, other than having to wake my husband up to get the garage door up (no power) we came out virtually unscathed.
The phone lines were really busy all morning with calls from those of you that didn't have any power, and were wondering about schools and such. It is amazing how isolated you feel when the power goes out, isn't it? We have access to so much information (when the electricity is working) that when we lose that access we feel alone. Fortunately, we are never really alone! But I am glad that we could help pass along information to those that really needed it. Some just needed to hear someone's voice, and I am happy we could be there. We also got lots of calls from those of you that just shared information...traffic updates, power outtages, etc. Thanks so much for taking the time to help others. I love these kinds of shows...no we didn't get to all the "stuff" we may have planned...but it's okay, because we just spent the morning together, helping one another get through...and I love that! Now...tomorrow...we will try to get to some of that stuff and more...last minute Valentine's help..3 winners for our Valentine's contest...and more. I hope you will join us...you never know what might happen!
