At home in Fran's Valley

After a wonderful visit to my family in So Cal - within an hour of coming home, a storm with micro burst activity took out a dozen major power poles which carried all of the communication
lines feeding into our area. Our power service was affected but returned within about 2 hours.
All communication - tv, computer, telephone - was out for 2 days. We found out how much
we value being able to communicate with those we love. Cell fones work, but since we have
a limited use contract with our cell-phone provider, using them for all our needs was not really
possible. It was not so fun!!

Home looked good though - nice to have my own things around me and to have Dean nearby.

Looking forward to talking with Kevin before he departs for London tomorrow. Such an
adventure he and Tony with be sharing. Must admit I am just a bit jealous! Trust they
know how much we will be thinking of them in their journey. It does seem like they are going to
be a long way away.
