Had two small children and i prayed that the lights would come right back on, but no, we were out for three weeks. Guess you can tell we lived in the boonies. We metre snow and did whatever we could to bet along. We had lanterns and a gas stove so those things helped. Playing games on the floor by lamplight.

When I first got one, I wasn't use to having one and I'd forget to turn it on and my husband could never get a hold of me. I thought who needs a phone when they go out of the house. Now I never forget it.

We didn't have cell phones then like they are now anyway. AC no big deal w/opening windows and doors. Internet service was the worst for me. Vannetta, you surprised me with this different genre of yours! I know it will be a great Read because YOU are a great Writer!!Denise Glissonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01136764293248208125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674654514206810087.post-74699248401210816912016-07-01T16:30:06.534-07:002016-07-01T16:30:06.534-07:00I lived without power for a week after Superstorm ...I lived without power for a week after Superstorm Sandy. It wasn't ideal, however it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I grew up without TV and I still see no reason to own one so I did not miss it. I did rely on my cellphone to keep me updated with my family and friends, I would have really missed that if it wasn't available!<br />The one redeeming feature was that everyone worked together and we shared items too. We all came to know and rely on one another. That truly was a blessing.Patti Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271337375990426257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674654514206810087.post-56606907798109002632016-07-01T15:49:54.403-07:002016-07-01T15:49:54.403-07:00Thanks for stopping by!

Interesting history Vannetta shared about towns that use to be. The picture of the store reminds me of Moonshine with a small building that has the best hamburgers not far from were I live. People will travel there just for a burger but you must be there before they turn the grill off at 1PM.

We had no power for over a week, we had just filled our freezer up with food, and we were struggling to cook the meats before they went bad, as we had no power. We had no phone, as at the time we couldn't afford cell phones. With no power, we had no telephone service. ajwbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12783570911515135797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674654514206810087.post-7311095095607755162016-06-29T19:53:59.067-07:002016-06-29T19:53:59.067-07:00I grew up without a TV and not many people had tel...I grew up without a TV and not many people had telephone's. We had to wait weeks to get one installed. Personally, I kind of wish my kids were growing up without a TV. <br />I would love to win this book. I have only ever read one other book by Vanetta, but I really enjoyed it. <br />amylsmith AT bledsoe DOT net <br />Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788611540035415046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674654514206810087.post-50990019173511870662016-06-29T15:36:08.951-07:002016-06-29T15:36:08.951-07:00I live without ac everyday, it's hard, but it ...I live without ac everyday, it's hard, but it makes you appreciate what you do have.
