If you live in the New England area and lost power like we did for 5 long days, you are glad to have your life back to normal. It is the little things we take for granted… hot showers, lights after 4pm, heat, stocked refrigerators and freezers. So after day 2 we decided we would survive on the basics, the hot water lasted for 2 days, we burned endless amounts of wood to stay warm and cooked on the outdoor grill and cooked as much food as we could; before it was time to pitch the rest.
So with the holidays approaching, it was a great time to start fresh and totally clean out both the refrigerator and freezer. I got organized with essentials just in case. I am well stocked, ready to entertain and/or ready for the next adventure nature has to offer.
