Our Saturday

The east wind has not let up. Yesterday it was blowing all day and very strong. Trying to stay in side Steve and I got up way to early so we could go to the dog show. The two breeds we wanted to see show were of course the earliest. We watched the Border Collies and Austrian Shepherds, got to really see what Chad got from each breed to make his mix. Also we got our free dog food samples and Chad eats them like treats.
Once we got home Steve finished working on his car and got it back together while I painted out guest bathroom. It is an American Flag theme with red and blue walls; I have ideas of decorations to put in there just need to get the pain to dry first. I’m trying to get a way from the yellows and browns and explore true colors. (my first ideas as blue and you guessed it yellow)
I need to take a break from painting and fix dinner and just my luck when I was just about done cooking the meat for stroganoff and the power went out. We sat and waited for a bit, wondering when we would get power again. After about 45 min we were very hungry so we ordered a pizza. If I remember correctly this is the first time I have had a pizza delivered at a house for dinner. We thought we should start a fire, used all the cardboard we have and some wood from the last door we took out. Found out that yes both our smoke alarms do work and are very loud, so if we were to have a real fire could not miss the alarm. The alarms went off because we did not get the flu opened all the way and the smoke came in the house first. I was running around turning them off and I had to jump to do that. I fun sight to see. Over all the fire place is very nice and we got a lot of heat from it, now the house smells like a camp fire. For sure we want to get an insert so it works better next time.
Power came back on around 9 or 10, I can’t remember and we got some stuff done around the house and went to bed. I woke up this morning with no power but with in 20 min of being up it came back on. The wind is just non stop; we have branches in our back yard, thank goodness no tree limbs down like other on the street. I don’t think the wind even let up over night, still going strong this morning.
