Power outs and Blizzards

It's been an interesting week: Power outages, swim meets, parties, blizzards.

Last Thursday I headed out to the shop intending to stop for gas and a soda.  All of Casey's pumps were covered up and no power in the shop.  I headed next door to Wendy's and they had no power.  Subway's server was down - no credit cards.  I gave up and headed in to the shop.  I got to the front door and our power was out.  It was about 1PM so Chris and Mary Jo had already opened things up.  Wondering what I would find inside I walked down the dark hall. When I opened the shop door things looked different.  Where was the table?  Of course, they had moved it over by the window and a group was knitting!  Yeah for low tech crafts!

Yesterday the snow started.  It was beautiful except for the wind.  This is what we found out in the driveway this morning.  The back door is wedged shut with snow and there was 6" blown up against the side door so the puppies got to run in the front yard this morning.  We can't get out the back yet. 
Then to add insult to injury the tire decided to lose air and come off the snow blower.  Jeff and Eric had to  shovel their way out the driveway to take the blower to fix. 

Remember when all we had where snow shovels?!?

Hello!
I found this blog through your shop's website. My husband and I just moved up to Iowa, and I'm learning a lot about CR. I would love to come see your knitting supplies once I have a little spending money. :)
