Yesterday was an eventful day for me. I followed through on some life altering decisions which I will blog about in the next few days, met neighbors we’ve had for more than a decade, and lost our electrical power for more than 16 hours …
At about supper time, a storm blew in from the northwest, and raised some serious havoc over a rather wide radius.

People are being evacuated from their homes, and all of our local schools are closed. One radio station reported that people from Newmarket NH were unable to find an exit from the town … my husband has to go through there to get to work, so … I guess he’ll be home tonight.
