Not Mayberry

Can a shy, retiring teacher from the big city find true happiness in the small town of Wilkesboro NC, which even the locals call "Moonshine Capital of the World."

Blogging to you in the dark with battery power...

... Once we finished dinner at the Creamery with Mulan - she likes BBQ- we came back and watched a full DVD worth of "Avatar" episodes. I was really impressed with the series. The artwork to the animation is great. Then we started watching "The Secret Garden" - and if you haven't already seen it you should as soon as possible.

Then, right in the middle of the movie, I heard the loud POP of a transformer blowing out and all the lights, and TV, went out. We wandered around finding candles and flashlights and then decided it was late enough to just go on to bed. Mulan borrowed my little CD player and listened to book IV of Harry Potter, but I think she fell asleep after three minutes.

Let's hope they get the power on soon. The weather report is calling for snow turning to freezing rain tomorrow morning and that means every power crew in the state will be working on downed lines. In fact, we may have trouble getting Mulan home. She may have to stay another night.

Oh well.
