So, we had a pretty bad storm the other night- Sunday night to be exact. We were watching the lightening come in for a while, but it got to be too much for us. It looked like someone was playing with all the light switches in the house. From all directions was a strobe-light show that American DJ would be proud of. Seizure-inducing, we decided. At about 9:30pm the power went out, and we went to bed (after I tried to set the fountain on fire, but that's another story).
The fountain spent the night in the sink, and we spent it under one little Scooby Doo blanket (because the dog threw up on the other ones just as the storm hit). In the morning we still didn't have power, and we found out that it would be a few days. Two transformers got hit directly, and about a dozen electric poles were blown over in the 83 mile an hour winds. We spent the night back at Matt and Kayle's house so Stephan could still be on call. It's Tuesday, about 4pm as I write this, and so far the power is still out. If you've been trying to call, sorry! We only have the portable phones set up, and the answering machine is electric too.
We leave for Billings tomorrow afternoon for two days. I don't know if I'll be available via the internet, but I'll be posting photos and stories about the "Big City" and Bucking Horse Sale this weekend soon. Have a safe trip, Travis and Stephanie, see you soon!
