Speaking of being prepared…

If this winter is anything like last winter people might want to find stores that have honda generators for sale just in case. Last winter we had lots of snow and really cold temperatures and the electric would go out.

We were in our camper last winter and luckily the camper has a battery backup for the lights. Anything plugged into the outlets didn’t work, like the TV and computer, but at least there was light. We would also lite the burners on the stove to heat the camper, which wasn’t too bad.

It would have been nice to have a generator last year. I just hope we won’t need one this year.

Candles

Did you know that candles have been around for more than 5,000 years? I didn’t know that until I came across an article at candles.org. The article gives you a history of candles.

I love candles and I have quite a few. My favorite scent is French Vanilla. I have a 2 wick one in a jar but I have less than an inch left in it and I need to get another one. I started with my candle “fetish” when we used to lose our electric quite often (that doesn’t happen all that much anymore) and I would buy candles “just in case”. I hate sitting around in the dark. I used to get candles from one company at candle parties but I don’t know anyone who does those parties anymore. I loved those candles. They would burn all the way down and the wax residue was easy to remove.

Hopefully our electric will stay on tonight and I won’t have to use my candles.
