A Week without Power-Post Hurricane Sandy.

Tonight on Little House on the Prairie: We had some store-bought bread with our vittles. I have been reading my primer by candlelight and am hoping that Pa will play his fiddle tonight to pass the time. Pa done brought up water from the well and Ma heated it, so we could have a hot bath. I done my chores and fed the oxen, Quake. Pa sure has plenty of firewood to chop. It sure will keep us warm with winter coming. Tomorrow, we might even take the horse cart into town to see Doc Baker. I hear a Mr. Thomas Edison invented the incandescent light fueled by electricity and someday it will replace the candle for light. From where I sit today, I find that hard to believe.
