Sit'n on the porch

[Grandmas Coop]

We won't lose power. All of our lines are underground. We will make the best of it and be Christmasy in the house today.

Ours were underground at the cabin and it was great! All above ground here

 

[Sally PB]

I wish our lines were underground. We lose power way too often, for too long. If you live out here for any length of time, you get a generator to deal with the problem.

Or go to a motel, as one neighbor did. They didn't stay out here long.

I dont remember if I told you, ,I bought 2 books.


And, while ordering I found another one by Charles Dickens.
Here is the write up about it, I found it very interesting. I think I would like to have this one also.


Charles Dickens's other Christmas classic, with a new introduction by Dickens's great-great-grandson, Gerald Charles Dickens.
Charles Dickens wrote The Life of Our Lord during the years 1846-1849, just about the time he was completing David Copperfield. In this charming, simple retelling of the life of Jesus Christ, adapted from the Gospel of St. Luke, Dickens hoped to teach his young children about religion and faith. Since he wrote it exclusively for his children, Dickens refused to allow publication.
For eighty-five years the manuscript was guarded as a precious family secret, and it was handed down from one relative to the next. When Dickens died in 1870, it was left to his sister-in-law, Georgina Hogarth. From there it fell to Dickens's son, Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, with the admonition that it should not be published while any child of Dickens lived.
Just before the 1933 holidays, Sir Henry, then the only living child of Dickens, died, leaving his father's manuscript to his wife and children. He also bequeathed to them the right to make the decision to publish The Life of Our Lord. By majority vote, Sir Henry's widow and children decided to publish the book in London. In 1934, Simon & Schuster published the first American edition, which became one of the year's biggest bestsellers.

my son has a generator, but we decided not to. I have all I need as far as doing things non-electric. I have been keeping the freezer low and if need to can just cook what ever is in it.

When we lose power, we don't have water, so a genny is really needed.

Really wish we could go off grid... I don't know if we get enough sunlight in the winter to make solar power work.

Our electric lines are all underground, although we will still be without power when the transformer has trouble.

Porchers good afternoon one and all!

62 cloudy 90% humidity feels like 61 rain 1%.

Have a great day!

I looked for a place with buried lines. There is nothing worse than a power failure during a 2 day blizzard.
