BLACKOUT part III

Yes... those "I"s are roman numerals, so you're reading correctly. Part 3. PART 3!!

The storm hit really badly last night. Thankfully, after the kids were in bed and after Steve was home. And very importantly, after I finished reading Vanishing Acts. (because with an ending like that, I would have gone out to buy more candles so I could finish!)

Power went out around 11:30 and, when we left for camp this morning (early, because we had a picnic breakfast, courtesy--okay, not free, but thankfully cold-- of Wawa, at KI, the power was out. According to the clocks the power came back on around 9:30. PECO impressed us this time. They had estimated late afternoon.

Meanwhile, Steve, in an act of heroism, saved a bunch of the food by placing it in the cooler. The chicken actually acted as ice and has barely began to thaw, so we'll have a full weekend of chicken salad.

Stay tuned... but keep your fingers crossed that there won't be a Blackout part IV.
