Today I have to do some baking after I finish the dishes from breakfast.  Tomorrow at a local church, they are having a pie contest and auction to raise funds for a project they are sponsoring.  So having never done anything like this, why not.  I baked two apple crumb pies.  Nancy and the family all liked my pies.  Pies are all baked.  I’m ready for tomorrow.  I must say that the storms that occur here in the Ozarks are impressive.  And another impressive storm decided to pass through again tonight.  This time it was a little stronger.  Lots of thunder and lightning.  During the storm I heard a loud bang.  It was not thunder.  It was a sound I had heard before as a firefighter.  The sound of a transformer blowing.  And then the power went out.  It is just as well as we were having issues with the streaming TV.  A little while later the power returned.  We do not have a generator so the Inn was very dark.  Then we actually had a guest text us about what to do.  Our advice was to stay put and try not to move around the Inn as the stairs and darkness were not a good combination.
