1) This weekend, the Gettysburg Civil War Re-enactment is being held on my street. Since they rotate the locations around the area, this only happens every so often. The last time this occurred, was the very weekend we moved here. (Seven years ago...I think.)
2) Boom!
This morning we heard a noise and assumed it was cannon fire which we often hear in the summer, especially when the Civil War is being re-enacted on our street!
Turns out, it was a nearby breaker. So, we were without electricity (which in our case also means without water. ) We decided it was a good day to eat breakfast out.
3) Re: #2: my dream would be to have a solar generator.
4) Lifeisgreat is having an Eat 5 Fruits and Veggies a day Challenge. Think about trying to meet the recommended number of servings of fruits and vegetables in your diet.
5) Summer time is a great time to buy your fruits and veggies locally. Help stimulate your local economy. Use this link to the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture to find a Farmer's Market in your area!
6) Never put on mascara before chopping onions.
7) I'm developing a new appreciation for Michael Jackson's talents. As with so many performers, (the Beatles come to mind) Jackson had an amazing array of God-given talents that were sadly exploited by others (including his own father) and overtaken by excessive celebrity and drug abuse.
There is something truly magical that surrounds raw, unexploited talent. I honestly think that fame on the level the Beatles, Elvis and Mr. Jackson endured goes a long way to put out that fire forever.

1) I think it is a mixed Blessing to live on the street where a reenactment is going on. Glad you enjoyed it.
2) Wow, no water and no electricity? That's roughing it. How was the traffic in Gettysburg with all the 4th stuff going on?
3) The sun is a wonderful energy source, but sometimes it rains.
4) I'm glad taco salad counts as 2 servings! Thanks for the mention.
5) I got some great organic produce from Harris Teeter this morning at a great price. I think the corn-on-the-cob was local.
6) I don't think I'll ever have that problem, but thanks for the advice.
7) MJ was a very talented individual. I still prefer to think of him as the singer of A,B,C - Easy as One, Two, Three, before all the controversy. Well, I suppose there was still some ... being a child star and all, but not to the level it was in his adult years.
Well, the traffic certainly is worse on the 4th weekend, that's for sure! It was quite a surprise the weekend we moved up here!
I still think if I had a solar generator that it would help in times of power outages. Maybe I can get one that will charge a battery.
I kwym re: MJ. I think I prefer the Jackson 5 stuff over all his other work. I also think that his dancing talent is just now getting recognized.
