We don't have electricity, just really cold temperatures!
We didn't have any electricity for NINE hours last Monday evening. I was out with a friend and Matt had just gotten off work. I called him and told him that the power was out. So he stayed in town too and just bummed around. I was cold that night, too! About -5 that evening. Not a good night to have no heat:-( I was done with my friend so Matt and I met at Perkins so he could get something to eat. We kept calling Xcel Energy to see where they were at with getting out power back. We saw almost all our neighbors out and about too.
Here is our trip to Perkins.......
When we were ready to leave the power was still not on at home....
So, we called Matt's parents to see if we could come over and crash for a while til our power came back on. This is their new furniture!

Neat old books that Matt's mom has...
Glowing fire.... Warms your heart... I miss having a fireplace. I never thought I would say that!

The power came back on about midnight so we went home then. Our pipes were frozen for about a day:-( It was frustrating, but that's living in Minnesota!

Icky! But, hey, could have been worse! My mom's childhood best friend out in Massachusettes was just without power for 9 DAYS! At least they had a fire place!
