Day 121 May 1

Terry and I had put the kids to bed after a long day of play.  They crashed pretty much instantly.  We watched a little tv to catch up on some shows then headed to the family room for a little computer time.  At 5 minutes to 8pm, bam, boom crash.  Then the power went out.  We figured another tree had slid off the hill and took out the lines but the cars were still moving up and down the highway.  Come to find out the neighbors had a tree to snap in half and land on the line leading to the house which snapped from the main line blowing that transformer.  2 1/2  hours later we finally got our power back on.  But it wasn't so bad.  Terry, Jina and I plopped on the couch and Terry played games on the laptop, Jina played her gameboy and I read by flashlight.
