New addition to the family....

 Over the weekend our electricity went out 

because we had a bad storm blow through

 with lightening, and thunder and torrential rain and the

whole nine yards.

The power wasn't suppose to come back on

until Sunday night

(it went out on Friday night)

...so we bought a generator.

We have been wanting to get one for quite a while

because who knows when you might need one...especially

 living by the gulf.

 He adds a lot of decorum to the house...

 ...just so we can have this....

 ...and this...

Luckily our power came back on early Sunday morning

so we didn't have to go through another whole day

of heat and darkness!!!

I think we are going to name him Gus...

because he is very grumpy and loud...

and he is very expensive to feed...

but he is a good friend to have around in a pinch!!!
