“Out Went the Lights”

Last night, we had huge winds and I actually was a little bit concerned. It was really loud and since I have window air conditioners, the wind blew right into my house because it was so strong! It took me a moment to realize that the wind was just making the noise is it came through the flaps around the air conditioner.

The wind was blowing super strong for not even five minutes when the lights went out! My Mom started to count and before she got to 30, I think it was at 16, the lights flickered back on and the air conditioners restarted.

I told my Mom that the generator was the BEST thing that I have! When the lights went out and in that 16 seconds before they came back on and the air conditioners restarted, I osat in the dark and I could feel the air getting warm. But then, because of my generator, because of my Mom, I didn’t need to find a place to stay and I fell asleep in my own house and in my own bed with the air conditioner running and the neighborhood’s power was still out.

I didn’t need to find a place to stay and I fell asleep in my own house with the air conditioner running and the neighborhoods power was still out. I smiled as I fell asleep and comfort.

I smiled as I fell asleep in comfort. In the few years that I have had my generator, it hasn’t turned on often but the fact that I haven’t is wonderful when I need it!

I spoke with my Mom today as she washed my hair and for some reason, I remembered a rhyme I used to say when I was young. I just started saying it and somehow I remembered the words from 35 years ago. I remember Ms. Gusfa playing the piano as we recited it. But the fifth pumpkin send, “Isn’t Halloween fun!”
