Difficult to function without...

1. Around 2 am. on this chilly morning, the power went out. Strange that it woke us. We slept horribly until 6 am. with still no power and the thought of no coffee, no hot shower, no coffee, no heat, and no coffee made it difficult to get out of bed. Steve made the executive decision to haul the generator in from the horse shed where he had been using it for a building project. Within minutes, the furnace was warming the house, coffee was perking, the refrigerator was humming and the computer was on. Today couldn't get any better. (except at 7:30 when the power came back on.)
