Candlelight

I am sure all of you have heard of yesterday's earthquake on the Big Island which was felt island-wide. It was a nice little wake up call from a good night sleep. 10 minutes after the quake, power went bye bye for 12 hours. Rummaging through the kitchen cabinets for food, we finally decided to walk towards the smoke we saw from our lanai. We drooled as the chicken was continuously turning on the grill. When we finally arrived, we found out we needed those stupid fundraiser tickets to get a meal. Grrrrr! Embarrassed, we walked away crying while people were laughing at us :( The supermarket next door was packed with people so we decided to go home and eat canned soup for lunch. Then darkness came and desparately searching for light, we lighted a number of candles. Ah yes, it was a night to remember (picture below). Then power came back on at 7:30PM but NO CABLE! Who needs power if there is no TV! Sigh of relief when Time Warner Cable was up and running before 9. However, PBS was down until after 2AM and we couldn't record Part II of Casanova with charming David Tennant as Casanova :( So sad. SO if any one of you have Part II, let me know!
