The lights went out

We've had beautiful weather lately (in the low 80's) no rain, sleet, snow, not even any big winds, yet yesterday at 3:30 the lights went out! The power was off all around us. The power stayed off for 11 hours. we went out to eat but missed the Olympics, did get some reading done though by one of those lights on a headband that Terry had out in his truck. I've been away from places that the electric goes out often so I now need to remind myself to stock up on candles again. Don't know if Bugsy, the cat, liked it or not but she just wanted to sit on my lap all night.
