Day #5

Today was probably the longest and hottest day for us since we've been here.  Not only are Janice and the kids not here, but our generator (and the smaller back-up generator) aren't working right now.  So, that means that we've been without electricity for many hours today.  Tonight, we're trying the battery system to see if we can at least keep the fans turning throughout the night.
 
Esther again went most of the day without clothes on.  She even ran around the yard for about 45 minutes, with Tawnee, buck naked.  First thing she wanted this morning was to take a cold bath.  Poor thing doesn't do the heat very well.
 
Tonight we went into town with some friends who blessed us by buying us dinner and giving us about 2 hours of A/C.  What a treat!!!
 
Highlight of the day was the dinner and A/C.
 
Low point of of the day was waking up at 4 AM as the power turned off thanks to the backup generator giving up the ghost.  I think the best thing to do with it is to put it in a very large hole.  Our mechanic thinks it can be fixed.  We'll see.
 
Until next time.
