Without Power


This picture isn't the best, but in it you can see the power pole a few blocks from our house that caught fire last night. This left us without electricity and things began to get a little chilly in the Benedict house. :) So Katy and I had to pack some things and spend the night at her mom and dad's. I'm sure they didn't mind, as they are in warm and beautiful Hawaii at the moment, making all of us back here in the cold and snow fairly jealous. :)


From the report I read online, people saw flames coming out of the top of the power pole. They had to shut down 60th street to handle the repairs, and we lost power somewhere around 7:45, I'd say. The biggest issue? I had cinnamon rolls in the oven rising that had to be cooked or they'd go bad. Fortunately for us, Gary & Nell's house does have an oven, so the rolls did not have to go to waste. Phew!
