We’re envious of those who never lost power! The PR Nonprofit Center lost power Tuesday at 9pm while there were still people meeting here but everyone made it out safely. Power was back on yesterday morning at the office (but no internet or phone until today), and last night at the Haller house we got power and internet - so we’re back to normal now but still catching up. Hopefully, you fared well too.
It was time to clean out the fridge anyway!
