[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 392291, member: 1024"] I think holidays stir up feelings and memories that we can otherwsie suppress the rest of the year. The hurt that you feel probably won't ever go away completely, but in time, it will fade. The best that you can do is just make the holidays ahead of you the best that you can with new memories and/or new traditions. We got a generator several years ago. A couple of years ago, the power went out for about 3 1/2 days in the middle of February, during an ice storm. It was awful. Though we had the generator, we were only able to use it for lights and small appliances, until last year when he hooked up a GenSwitch on our electric panel. Now, we have the basics, like heat, lights and fridge. Since we live in the boonies, we have well and septic, so without electric, we have no water. With the generator switch, we can turn the well on (everything else has to get turned off) a few times a day. I would never have been able to live in pre-electric days....ugh! Lol. [/QUOTE]
