Power

What a funny thing power is. We take it for granted and don't even think about it until it is not there.

After the last big storm the other day, we lost power in our house. Boy it was cold for those 43 hours. The worst part of it was not knowing when it was going to come back on. On the second afternoon, I pulled out the camp stove and started boiling water for a bath. It only took about an hour to get a half decent amount of water. That was so nice though. Again, it is taken for granted.

We were very fortunate to have only been out for two days. Some places are still without power today. That would really suck.

Kudos to all the Hydro workers and contractors who worked so hard to get everyone their power back. They deserve a big hand! Thanks!

Football Banquet

We just had our last football event of the year. The Spartans Football Banquet and awards presentation was tonight. The four Spartan football teams together for one final dinner.

The food was great. Roast beef with gravy and potatoes and a few different salads. There was also lasagna which was not even close to as good as Susan's, she makes the best in the world according to me but that is beside the point. There was a lot of good desert as well; brownies, tarts, cookies and squares.

After dinner, they gave out a few awards for each team, best offensive player, best defensive player and MVP. Once the awards were done, the building was vacated. Short and sweet.

Soon we will be doing it all over again, watching our boy turn into a football star. I can't wait.
