The past 24 hours have given me a whole new appreciation of the Ingalls family. Our power went out yesterday afternoon and we quickly began realizing how dependent we are upon electricity. That, and what a bad idea it is to keep the flashlights, batteries, candles and matches in a windowless room.
When the power was still out this morning and radio reports indicated that it might take as long as a week to restore, we started packing our bags to head to MI. Then we realized that our car was low on gas and all the area gas stations were also without power. Uh-oh. As we pondered what to do, miracle of miracles, the power was restored!!! We all celebrated, except Cameron, who said he had been excited to "go on vacation and get McDonalds."

Obviously, those of you way down there in the wilds of Ohio had to resort to coming to Michigan, the land of plenty... power, McDonalds, and Zingermans!
