Bob Says It Best

Bob from Hunt Country Yarns has a point--I bet the portable battery powered Ott lights are a good investment if you have lots of power outages.

We have LED lanterns which give a lot of light but it's not really a good light for stitching, so when the power is out, I can only stitch during daytime hours.  Makes you appreciate our ancestors who stitched by candlelight!  I might ask Santa for a battery Ott light for Christmas since we've had at least five power outages this year that have lasted anywhere from 3 hours to 5 days.

If the power goes out during the upcoming storm, not to worry, Blog will continue to publish as I have articles written for a month ahead of time.  I just won't be able to Ok comments or change the Canvas of the Day.  I'll catch up on that when power is restored since without electricity we have no Internet, heat, tv, lights or running water.  Let's hope not too many trees go down since Rinky Dink electric co-op is not really prepared to handle repairs.

I do have plenty to stitch.  I know you are shocked.  LOL

Thanks, Judy. We are ready. It took all weekend but everything is in place for us to make it through a storm and about 4-5 days of no electricity. If the river floods and cuts the road I don't think we'll be cut off for long, but power outages are a real pain here as Rinky Dink Electric Co-op is not very well prepared for storms.
