Jan,What lovely pics....so glad you found your camera. You didn't say which cat helped you? I would be curious. Friend, would you mind if I scarfed part of the lower photo....I think it has much potential as a greeting card? The storms have swept through. Being an optimist, I am grateful God watered my grass seed. It appears it is over from radar map. Mom is still without power. She was trying to read by candlelight. And madder than a hatter she can't watch DWS.... ROFL....I am thinking Mom needs a nifty battery operated lantern for Mothers Day....just an extra...I will still buy her plants. She had all the neighbors calling her to ask if she knew what the scoop was? Nice to know she is so well respected. One neighbor has power.... Mom? doesn't he sell generators for a living...??? They are probably on a generator. Perhaps they would let you go over and watch DWS there. She laughed but wasn't going to do it...She is priding herself on her surviving abilities. Mom, who is your power company? She said she called and was told they knew they had issues and to not hold on the line unless your house was burning down or downed lines or something. You want to know something....I used to be that nice, polite,wait for it....I am sure they will get to me.... ish.... my mother's daughter?Living without power and hence without water..(Mom has water) ..I am survivor of 11 days and then 3 days........ and ....who is your power company? Spaghetti! ..my secret code word...Welcome to Western MA power company, we realize we have outages in blah, blah, blah.... didn't mention Mom's location... please hang up as we know we have issues.... that was what Mom did. or press one or say outage to report one....Spaghetti. or press 2 or say status to ask for status on reported outagage. Spaghetti. I am not understanding you....please press one or say outage to report one....please press two or say status to ask about status on reported outage....Spaghetti.... I am not understanding you ( oh my goodness how could that be?) ....please press one or say...or press two or say....Spaghetti! We are not understanding you! Please hold while we connect you to a customer service representative...... Oh gee whiz. I get to talk to a real person. Wonder how that happened? I guess you just learn a few things as life happens. Laughing! She was very nice. I asked what the status was on Longmeadow Ma? She said well they expected to have 95% of their customers up by midnight. Well that is very nice, is that my Mom? I said I lived in NH and was worried about my Mom... did they have a call report on her....she is 76! She is doing fine with it but do you know she doesn't have power and you have to make sure she gets power back? What is her address? Noting that...Is she okay? Is this an emergency? I said I didn't think so (if I thought it was I would have said so instead of getting through by saying Spaghetti...oh okay so maybe I didn't mention that)..... I called Mom back...she was going to call all her neighbors back to tell them by midnight.... and you wonder why they call her.... I don't! She has her secret weapons...otherwise know as children! I do really think she needs a battery operated lantern.... what is this candle stuff?And she lived with my Dad for so long....laughing....what does that mean? that means 5% won't have power back? Laughing...yes mom! But that could be me? Yes Mom! So it could be me? Laughing....no you should be fine! I have taken the hit often enough...it shouldn't be you.... statistically speaking. It just isn't fair.... you should be fine! Night friends. I will check in the morning to make sure she has power back...if not... spaghetti is my code word....sssshhh...you didn't hear it...but it works! Night!
