MARIETTE'S BACK TO BASICS: {Happy Thanksgiving 2015!}

Thursday, November 26, 2015

{Happy Thanksgiving 2015!}

Today, all plans got thwarted due to 7 hours power outage, a broken underground cable in our street...

They did repair it but also damaged first a water pipe, causing a fountain.

And they also struck the cable for TV and Internet!

But after 8 hours; all was back on again.

Still being grateful for so many things!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all US READERS!

Oh my, power outage and water pipe got broken, no internet, etc....that sounds quite a mess. Glad things are back to normal now! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving day.
So sorry for my absence lately. Been so busy and probably will be like this until mid-January. I wish you a wonderful holiday weekend, Mariette!
