Well, as most of you know, we had a pretty huge wind storm last night. I woke up in the middle of the night to the howling of the wind and the moaning of the trees (those are some of my favorite sounds; I don't know why - maybe because it reminds me of how powerful God is!), and relized our power was off. "Great," I thought. So it was a restless end of the night (why is that? You know that the power is off so you can't sleep; it doesn't really make sense to me... :) ). Our power was off until about 6:00 this evening and we are thanking the Lord that it has stayed on ever since. That's why I'm writing (again!) to say I'll get pictures up tomorrow, but I think that I'm not going to say that this time, because every time that I do, I never get the chance! :) So, I'll do it as a surprise!
Well, my apple cake (recipe courtesy of Miss Bethany Ring :) is almost ready to come out of its fiery chamber and cool off, so with that I bid you adieu.
Praying that you are all safe and sound after this storm,

(P.S. Here's the cake recipe; I thought I'd post it because it's to yummy and to easy!)
Apple Cake

2 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil

Ja, after spending the day without heat, I was very thankful.
I'm drooling over the cake--well, not literally. :-) We need to get Bethany to work up a sugar-free version!
It was really windy here, too, where we are visiting in Indiana. The electricity went out when we were at our friends' house! :-P We will probably be posting about it next week on our family blog. :-)
The electric was out while we were at Bible study/prayer meeting. But it was back on by the time we got home.
Hope to see you tomorrow!
