Chaos!

We lost power for a couple days during the windstorm. As a result, the chain on one of our garage doors came loose. But, since we escaped up north during the power outage, we still had to deal with it when we came back. Then, on Monday morning, after I had packed Cashew in the car and all our gear, I heard a snap! The spring on the other garage door had snapped! Agh! After calling my emergency service, Spidey, Cashew and I went back into the house and waited for him. This past weekend, Uncle Pushi and Spidey worked on both garage doors and after some trial and error, we're dual garage-operational again - what you see above is the new spring in place! Hooray! Thank you so much Sushi family!


Ever wonder what the inside of your freezer looks like...or how it works? Well, we hadn't either until I noticed that after that dreaded power outage, our fridge/freezer didn't seem as cold anymore. Cashew's milk turned bad twice! Plus, my pickles didn't have the same crispy crunch. Finally, after some research, we fixed it a couple nights ago and now everything is
back in our fridge again- and not outside on the deck or at our trusty 'neighbor's' - thanks so much for lending us your fridge space for a couple days.

Here's Spidey preparing for the cold weather - rigging some sort of homemade contraption to protect the faucet - the store bought one didn't fit down there. What crazy weather! Yesterday I was tortured driving home - took over 3 hours! Thank goodness I didn't have to drive in it again cause today is a snow day so I'm hanging out with Cashew!

Cashew and Sushi at their girl's sleepover this past weekend. Sushi's hair seems more tamed - we'll have to do something about Cashew's wild mane - maybe a new do while in TW?
