After Hurricane Thomas last year people used their pools to supply water for flushing toilets, rinsing dishes etc. With it being hurricane season here, we have learned to fill milk and bleach jugs with tap water just in case and of course have to keep a large supply of bottled water on hand.

Power outages were fairly common in POG, but the worst was when the water heater died and it was over a month before it was repaired. Somehow, I didn't expect the water to be so *cold*!Beth Fontnoreply@blogger.com
