Sometimes You Just Have to Laugh.

Sometimes you just have to laugh.  We had another round of bad thunderstorms in our area on Wednesday evening.   The high winds brought down several large trees and when that happens we often lose power.  Last time it occurred we were without electricity for almost 5 days and we had a tree in our living room.  So both Kelly and I were happy it was just a lack of luxuries for a night and not a repeat of "the great outdoors" brought inside. 


Pictures from previous storms.. so you get the idea of what it looked like to have a tree in my house and a new "lake" ..lol






We are a rather hardy stock here at The Hughes' Farm so we can survive without lights, air-conditioning, water or plumbing for one night.  I set my phone to wake me a little earlier than normal so I could get into the studio and shower there before going on air.  Now, my garage is not attached to the old farm house, so I can’t just walk out the kitchen door and climb in my car.  You can only access the garage from the outside and it is all built into the home security system with a backup battery that allows me to raise the door in just this type of circumstance.....usually. 


Apparently the battery had gone dead and there was no way to get to my car. It's 3:00 AM, I'm standing in the driveway in the dark and trying to figure out what to do next.  Believe me when I say there is always an answer. My commuter vehicle for the day was a bit unconventional but I got to work on time, got my shower and as the saying goes, "the show must go on."  I do apologize to the other hosts for taking up twelve parking spots in the parking lot for the day...my bad.



If you see a farm tractor parked in the lot next time, you know I lost power again!  Lol!
