Like Gretchen said, it's like a sweet bedtime story. I can just picture your cute family all curled up together in your pajamas. And the cinnamon pumpkin candle just adds to the ambiance! We really should have basements here in OK. Instead we have safe rooms that take up half of our garage, are hideously ugly, and never get used. Don't ask me how I know!

Only our power was out for 16 HOURS. Yuck, yuck, and double-yuck!! Oh, and tornadoes aren't common in our parts, but a random one touched down south of Austin and wrapped my parent's neighbor's trampoline around a fence four houses down! It was the talk of the town. :) Yup, we got that nasty storm too, about an hour before y’all. Only our power was out for 16 HOURS. Yuck, yuck, and double-yuck!!

I love the image of you by candlelight with your pen and paper. :) Hope you have a good weekend! There’s nothing like the absence of electricity at night to make you slow down and take a deep breath.

Bad storm back then too, but no tornado. BTW...thought of you when I was in Tampa this week at the zoo. Took some good giraffe pics thinking, "I bet Marla saw these same giraffes!" Then couldn't remember if you went there or not! Thinking of memories of our three and me (plus the dog and cat) under a table in our basement with old comforters!
