Electricity....Gotta love it

They say life is full of surprises and boy is that true.:)
This morning at about 8 a.m. I woke up to a loud ripping noise and then a crash coming from outside our house. I jumped out of my bed (top bunk mind you)when I heard mom start shouting "Oh my goodness! Mark come here quick!" As it turns out, a logging truck had just turned our corner and somehow got our electrical line caught on it. The driver had no idea what was happening and so off ripped the line. Us kids were quickly herded outside while dad went to see if the line was sparking or not. Luckily it wasn't but dad called the Sheridan Fire Department anyway. I'm sure we must have looked quite comical. We were all still in our pajamas, hair disheveled from sleep and then to top it off us girls were begging mom and dad to let us run inside to get dressed before the fire squad came. They finally relented and thankfully we were allowed to stay in the house.
The squad came but there was nothing that they could do so they left after half an hour. B#5 and 6 sure had fun looking at the fire trucks and talking to the volunteers. The fire chief came too! We had to wait for some electricians to come but time sure crawls when your waiting for something. Minutes passed...then hours... finally after four and a half hours with out power and water the electrician people finally came!
We now once again have electricity. You don't really realize how nice it is until you don't have it. Electricity....Gotta love it.

And one of these days I am going to figure out how other people manage to put up a picture, then write, then put up another picture then write some more. But I guess till then you'll just have to see the pics then read.:)
