A Day without Power for a Few Hours or a Few Minutes

Hey, folks. When I went to my babysitter's, I could only watch TV for a while. But Javi changed it so I couldn't watch what I wanted to watch. Javi never watched commercial, so he always changes it onto a different show. When the power went out, it was really weird. Everyone only had water. The only thing we had was water; that's what I mean.

The power went out because one of the poles that holds those wires burnt down really fast, but half of it was drooping. Some people came; they were in a green thing over their regular clothes, so it was hard to tell who they were, except for one piece, the green piece with a little black on them. They were talking to Abuela, and then to some of the rest of the family. It took a while, and then some of Javi's friends came over with some of their games. Someone from the family asked me if I wanted a nap. And then I went onto to where they allowed me to sleep, which actually was supposed to be to take a nap. I wasn't going to live on the bed for the entire night!

Then some of the people went out of the house, into the car, and drove somewhere--I didn't know where. I was supposed to keep Mama Teri with some company. And I did. Mama Teri was very upset. And so was Buddy. EAch time she gets upset, Buddy gets really upset with her. Well, I don't know why. And I was trying to get some sleep, but then I heard a noise. I looked at a little clock where there was supposed to be a light on there when it was on. When I looked at it, there was! But then it ran right down. Then it showed numbers on it; it was a digital one. And then I looked at Mama Teri's little thing under the TV. It had a little green light on it. Then I ran to tell Mama Teri, which I was supposed to go right to the next room. So it didn't take that long. I tell her and she comes with me inside her room again. She might be shocked about that. I couldn't wait until the rest of them got there. So I could tell them that I found out when the electricity came on. When they came, I did tell them. But the boys found out after I told Karla. I didn't tell them, but when I came to tell them, they already knew the electricity was on. Then they wanted to play games. The first one was with a guy in green. You might already know what game this is. And Dad, you can ask Austin all about him. That is, if he will allow you to say what you're asking him. I watched it for a little, but when my mom came, that's when we left. And that's how we got here. Before this, we were eating. It was really fun writing on my blog, even though my mom was doing it. And it was really nice of her to write down my blog for me. Because it would take me like nine hours to do this! My very long blog is why it would take me a long, long, long, long,long time! Adios, folks! Which really means, Bye, folks! It was really nice doing this with you. It's like talking to you except for hearing your voice, and you can't hear my voice either. Which makes it equal with hearing voices. And folks, this really is my longest blog. It took my mom a while to type it down for you guys, we really should be going soon. which is really close to going now. This is one of my very favorite things to do, writing on my blog! Ha ha ha.

Hi Richard! I've been looking for your blog every day. I'm so glad you wrote again.

Uncle Pat can't quite believe this, but I kinda like it when the power goes out. The house is very, very quiet because there are no motors running (like on the refrigerator).

We light candles and cook out on the grill. Usually if there is a storm coming I fill buckets with water so we have enough water to drink and wash with before the power actually goes out.

It is kind of an adventure!

Wow Richard....you sure have a lot of adventures in your life.
You should write a kid's book....you could call it "Richard's Wacky Adventure Stories". Each chapter could be a new fun story about things that happen to you.
I love reading these adventures. This one about a power outage was really good.
Glad the power is on. If power goes out at my house, all Lucy and I worry about is our POPSICLES !! Without the freezer running they turn to mush
Adios mi amigo.
