In fact I was really shocked the first time a power failure came and I was kind of annoyed instead of delighted - this was three years ago or so. It made me sad and I realized I had turned a corner of some kind. But when I start ranting about it and saying to John that we should live without elecricity that we should live in caves or tents or trees or culverts - he reminds me quite mildly that I probably wouldn't really like that for very long...Eberlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523773865788173026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863431760746065200.post-9365643702972578352009-12-31T04:55:16.195-07:002009-12-31T04:55:16.195-07:00Such an adventure!Isn't it strange that it tak...Such an adventure!Isn't it strange that it takes the rare power outage to force us to enjoy such fundamental pleasures as candles and cribbage. Or, perhaps you and John are wiser than we and you regularly play cribbage by candlelight?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826633321048805947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863431760746065200.post-22108759603447564632009-12-19T18:22:11.449-07:002009-12-19T18:22:11.449-07:00Dear Poetikat,
thank you so much for keeping us in...Dear Poetikat,<br />thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers! Big Bed Land is spiritually a very diverse place. As is our household in general, with Monster E. a convert to Catholicism three years ago, and Monster J. not feeling a connection to any organized religion (I try to tell him that Catholicism is quite delightfully disorganized, but this is not what he means.) <br /><br />Diversity begins at home, that's how I feel about it. What we all share in BBL is the strongly held basic conviction that each and every individual merits respect. (I would call this a sacred conviction; to John it seems to come naturally.)<br /><br />Some of us in BBl pray and some don't but we all welcome being in the prayers of others, so thanks again. I am keeping you in my prayers too.Eberlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523773865788173026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863431760746065200.post-22582932548747253342009-12-16T06:50:27.635-07:002009-12-16T06:50:27.635-07:00Oh, our dear friends in BBL!

We are so glad that the Animals were there to give you such good advice regarding the shovelling, the preparing for the storm and the perspicacity to get those quesadillas cooked up early!<br />You are in our prayers for as long as it takes to remedy this near-catastrophe. (Thank heavens you learned about the toxic nature of the vent before something truly dreadful befell all of you!)<br />We were most relieved to hear that you were able to make merry despite the situation. We often find a good game and fun music is most uplifting too.<br />We await your communication (in good time).<br /><br />Keep warm and safe!<br /><br />Your concerned friends of the HyggehusKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.com
