Update from Wilkesboro - by candlelight
We had a great day today. We drove up to Boone and had lunch in our favorite Chinese restaurant with our 11 year old friend Joanna Campbell and her mother and grandparents. Then we brought Joanna down to stay the day for a sleep over.
It was warm and sunny so we took Joanna and Leo out for a long walk along the Reddies River trail which is our favorite walk. At the end of the trail lives the chocolate pony. Joanna loves animals so she loves to walk with Leo and to meet the chocolate pony. When we got out there she was happily feeding the pony carrots and grass when Leo got too excited from hearing dogs nearby barking and suddenly attacked chocolate and bit him on the face. Chocolate was startled but otherwise didn't seem too upset. Everyone was mad at Leo though.
We went out for dinner, came home to watch movies, and right in the middle of "The Secret Garden" all the light went out! We got out all the flashlights and candles, but since it was already nearly 11:3o we went on to bed. I am typing this with battery power. We don't know how long it will be before the lights come back home. I hope they get it fixed soon because it looks like we are going to get freezing rain tomorrow morning. If that happens then every power crew in the state will be busy dealing with downed lines.
And I hope I can get Joanna back to her folks before it gets too bad.
