Hello! I know that you have not read a post from me in the past few days but that is because we had another blizzard. The cruddy weather started Wednesday night. By Thursday morning our power went out. We called our power company and they told us that they had pulled all of their repairmen off the roads because of the weather. Not knowing how long it would be before our power was restored we called my mom and dad to see if we could crash at their house to wait out the storm. We packed up our stuff (and our puppy) and headed to town in Adam's pickup. The drifts were huge on the roads and we just plowed on through them. If I had been driving we would have gotten stuck for sure! The kids were happy to play at my mom and dad's house. Mom made us roast and potatoes and scalloped corn for supper. It was YUMMY! The blizzard shut down pretty much everything. The electric company called us on Friday morning to let us know that our power had been restored. Adam came home with his pickup to clean out the yard and he got stuck in the backyard. The drifts were 7 to 8 feet tall back there. Once he got everything cleared he came back to town and picked us up. The trip home was bumpy, alot of snow drifts to get through. Today the roads were still yucky. Adam had to go to Algona and said that he would not have gone out if he did not have to. The winds were still causing drifting on the roads. So we have survived two big blizzards in less than 2 weeks. Hope that you are all enjoying your weekend! Love, Steph
