return to civilization

So we here in western Washington, having just lived through another 3 day power outage due to snow, ice, and wind in that order. We hunkered down, connected the little generator to the fridge and a light, and made no bake cookies. Why is it that weather like this makes me want to bake? Either that, or eat bacon on everything. Well, that's not really a change; I'll eat bacon at any given opportunity. At any rate, life as we know it has been restored and now I can get back to knitting this new little purse project. I can hardly wait to see how it turns out, but I think it might take me a while; I've already had to read the instructions twice and that was before I even started.
