I am looking into upgrading my cell phone.<br />Yep, I'm my own Jerry and I will do this as long I'm still able. <br />I could have tolerated it better with a shorter outage - that just got a little too roughin' it for me even!<br />Thanks so much for participating here. :)Jeni Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04230316795108135748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815208869735026874.post-11555631140960963852012-12-29T13:29:12.467-08:002012-12-29T13:29:12.467-08:00Well written blog entry Jeni. I read it to Jerry, ...Well written blog entry Jeni. I read it to Jerry, too. We do feel vulnerable ourselves after this big snowstorm! We never lost power so we did not have to use our generator. I like your idea of putting the food outside and/or in your mudroom to maintain a cold temperature. Our car and truck are still buried out in our snow covered driveway. Jerry was able to get his Land Cruiser out, but it is difficult still for him to get it in and out of the icy driveway. I am afraid of falling so I have only ventured out 3 times to get into the Land Cruiser to leave in the last 2 weeks. And that travel by foot to the vehicle was with alot of slipping and sliding and a couple of falls. Jerry has always had essential items here in case of a situation like this so we are OK with food, water and wood. The snow just piled up so fast in that 24 hour period it was just too much for Jerry to remove it. He has spent hours out there trying to make a path but still not able to. I am coping by reading lots of books and keeping busy with indoor activities. I admire your ability to handle it on your own! By the way we have Verizon cell service and sometimes reception is spotty, but at least we can make and receive calls from here. I wonder if it would work for you there so you could at least find out what is happening in a prolonged power outage.Idahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730557702955927352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815208869735026874.post-1354428272953494072012-12-27T05:19:10.898-08:002012-12-27T05:19:10.898-08:00Thank you so much for your kind words Jennifer. I...Thank you so much for your kind words Jennifer. I was hoping not to come across too vulnerable, but to express the need for community thinking in hard times.<br />Thanks for your dedication to this blog!! :)Jeni Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04230316795108135748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815208869735026874.post-12217704119120191802012-12-26T17:05:38.893-08:002012-12-26T17:05:38.893-08:00Really nice read, Jeni! Even with your longer post...Really nice read, Jeni! Even with your longer post, you really kept my attention. When you really think about it, we're fragile and vulnerable physical beings. Anything could happen--like a snowstorm, an earthquake, or just a fall on slippery pavement. It behooves us to prepare for the things we can and to appreciate the time we have. Sounds like you're going to do some more preparing, and knowing you, you'll take full advantage of the time you have. As someone once said to me, "Life isn't for suffering, it's for joy!" Thanks for a beautiful post. xo JenniferPlushpussycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619613347686449478noreply@blogger.com
