That sounds awful!

What a way to spend your weekend. I'm glad to hear that things are getting back to normal. We were spoiled growing up by living in the very first area of the city to ever re-gain power after an outage.  We didn't experience lengthy problems.  When we lived in the apartment in Edmonton, Loren unplugged the fridge, and I didn't find it until the next day.  What a mess--both the fridge and cross top freezer.  I don't envy you having to clean that up.  and the wasted food!!

The art show went well.  Not as many artists showing work, as the last one, but this meant that there was more room,and, with a little more viewing room, it was easier to see some of the items.  I only had three pieces, a small hanging, a small framed embroidered picture, and a large wall hanging, (see other blog). I didn't expect to sell any thing.  People often ask "Exactly what is it that you do?",  and this seemed like a good way to show them.  However, the framed piece sold, which was a pleasant surprise.

Today we did a little more grocery shopping, and turned it into a bit of fun.  I get e-mail from Sobey's and Air Miles, offering coupons for certain items.  You click on the items you may want to buy, and the deductions or whatever are supposed to turn up automatically at the cash register.  So today we tried it out.  Not only do they turn  up but they are printed right on your cash register receipt.  We also bought boneless chicken ( no coupon for that)which is now divided up into meals size portions and in the freezer. With  all of the power cooking we've been doing, our freezer is now stocked for the next few months.  This will be another thing that we won't have to worry about next month.
