I've been without power for more than a day thanks to ice storms. I feel your pain.
Well, it's nice to see you all taking it quite well, and you seem to have the necessities of life - each other!
That last picture is so pretty! And I love that headlamp...my bro in law has one too!!! ahahahhhahaha
Glad you're back and all is safe & back to normal there! We missed ya!
barbecue guy looks like he could perform quite an operation :-)
Glad to see your making out ok...I have to hsave one of those headlamps..that's good stuff...just so you know I don't mind towelling off a pair or two while your drying off your self..it's the least I can do...:):):)
Kate - How are ya blogging?...by candlelight?!? That didn't work for me! Hope you get power back soon!
~Olga
Yes Mushy - But it's good thing the power came back on when it did!...cabin fever was starting to set it!
~Olga
Drowsey!!! :) That picture was taken outside my front door this morning around 8am! YAY sunshine!
~Olga
Well nursie, he is a doctor. ;)
~Olga
Thanks for watching out for me and my "headlamps" Crusty! I knew I could count on you to see me through!
~Olga
I'll have to knit that young fellow a scarf...to go with his hat !! Maybe some slippers for his tooties.
All kidding aside - glad you all are safe and back.
obtw.. hope the bbq's werent of chicken breasts, 'cause lawdy,what would we do with all those extra chicken bras ? :0
MSW - As you can tell, that young fellow LOVES that hat! :) And it came in quite handy! Brrrrr!
I didn't see any chickens on the BBQ...but several did go out and get trashed! Dang party animals!!!
xoxo
~Olga
Tough weather, but still a sense of humor; great stuff!
I see you've 'revised' your post! LOL That was one expensive storm!! (20 bucks for that headlamp thing..LOL...men)
Hi ya Drowsey! Yeah, when I first posted this morning, I think I was suffering from Blog Withdrawls...I forgot to post the dollars amounts! What a dorky bra! We'll see if insurance covers anything! At least the headlamp! :)
~Olga
Everything's got a price - want to make me an offer? I'm cheap.
It's awful expensive to go through a time of rain, sleet, snow, ice or any other pain in the butt weather related issue.
Awwww, that reminded me of hurricane season in Florida 2 years ago. Glad everyone is okay...
DP - For what? You wanna buy my broken swingset & pergola? Their yours - for PETRA!
~Olga
You said it Diva! Latest estimate for Chico's damage is $3 million!~Olga
Thanks Stealth! Did you notice the BBQ? Looks worse than my STOVE! LOL!
~Olga
Wow I knew all of you gys got hit pretty hard. And trust me as I live in Oklahoma I can attest first hand that these events are not fun. I am so glad that you have your power back. Now all you have to deal with is hassles from the insurance companies.
Hopefully I will not be posting similar pictures this spring when we go into our storm season.
Blogging withdrawls? he hee, I heard there is a group for that :)
You know, I don't want to make light of such a devastating storm, but your ex en-nem sure seemed to make do with some family fun and support ... whoops! that word keeps coming to mind, esp. after the new years bash.
My power was out a while back, but only for a period of "hours". It's funny how we take so many things for granted. I sat there in the dark for a moment, and did not know what to do ... of course my mobile was open soon after.
That poor Rainbow playset took a beating!!!! Wow! If I lived closer I would stop over and fix it - I've moved a couple thousand of them across state lines. I can picture you being the flag on top in the past.
Best part? The BBQ guy! COOL helmet. I must find one for chicken Tuesday.
Glad you are all OK 8~)
Speedy "hambone" Hollydale
Chico! The kindest city in America :)

(& remember, Olga needs a rocket ride...)
I finally did the meme you tagged me with ! Thanks!
$140 on fast-food meals? Really? I had no idea that bras ate so much.
Thanks Shinade - Usually we Californians only have to worry about rain, floods, droughts, fire, and earthquakes....but not WIND! Go figure!
~Olga
Speedy - Ya know, we did end up having a pretty good time just relaxing and enjoying each other's company...for about 15 minutes!!!!! HA!
And yes, I'm afraid it's the end of the road for that poor old swingset....but the Headlamp can be yours - just say the word! :)
~Olga
You're right Piper - Chico IS a very friendly town! And I LOOOOOVE those kiddies...but the pergola, eh, I can live without!
~Olga
Hi jOolz! Yes - things are definitely perking back up in the land of bodaciean cleavage! Is the Rocket ride ready for blast off? ;)
~Olga
Be right over Blue! ~Olga
Dorky Dad - It takes a lot more than burgers & fires to fill these DD's! You'd be surprised how much I can stuff in my cups & still retain my girlish figure!
~Olga
PS: Loose the Santa hat! :)
PSS: Dorkey Dad - I meant burgers & FRIES! Keep fire AWAY from me! ACK!!!!!
~Olga
Well, I am in the bay area....why didn't you stop by to say hi? We had electricity at our home....
that headlamp is GREAT! haha hahhaha
Julie - If I went outside...I woulda flown all the way to Speedy's house! But would like to stop by an say hi someday!!!
~Olga
Meleah - Yes, it came in so handy, he wears it ALL THE TIME now! ;)
~Olga
An awesome tale and thanks for sharing at flowers! Great how you turned this -ve into a +ve and thats what causes the storm, opposite charges!!!
Dam our Brit humour / humor! :0)
Ah, being in California myself I am frequently without power. What always gets me is when they go to turn it back on, it almost never just comes back on once. It's on, it's off, it's on, it's off... one night that happened 6 times before it finally stayed on. Sheeesh.
And let's not get into the brownouts...
Hi Jim & Em! Yep, sometimes life is hard, but ya gotta just yank up your straps and move on! Thanks for your awesome support - as always!
~Olga
You're right Jayleen, brownouts suck! Thanks for stopping by my blog ~ hope to see you 'round here again!
~Olga
Wow...That's some weather. We had some rain -- I think we actually made it over an inch w00t! Other than leaves piled up in the streets, not much else is different. I'm loving that headlamp. Toadally fashionable. My mom has one. Bwahahahaha!
So glad to see you are out of the dark. What an ordeal.
Gee Kelly - If I knew how much everyone was gonna like that HEADLAMP, I woulda gotten one myself! HA!
xoxo
~Olga
Thank Mimi - It was quite an adventure! Thanks for stopping by!
~Olga
Just thinking (omg - can you smell smoke ?)
Maybe I should make your fur liners waterproof... just in case.....
BTW.... what size are ya Olga, dear. I know its DD, but whats the number ?
hugs
