HOLDING CLASS WITHOUT POWER

I am having a class in my studio for three days separated by a week. A windstorm hits the region and the first day I am without power. No phones, power or heat. Half the people show up for class. I have snacks, coffee and a propane heater going when they arrive. I have no way to contact the other people to tell them one way or another if we are having class. My cell phone is dead. My power point presentation is from my powered up computer screen on the lapstop. We had the class, stayed warm and used the natural light from the windows wich I had cleared space in front of the windows to get all the natural light in the studio.  We accomplished a lot and had fun. 

I arrange the next week to have a makeup class. I have power, snacks and heat. All is going well until after lunch when the power goes off again and we finish class on time but the light is fading. The days asre getting shorter in the northwest so I should probably schedule classes for earlier and leave later if the power is not going to cooperate. 

The second schedule day of class goes without a hitch. I had power the whole time. It was touch and go as the day before we did not have power. I came on about 10pm. I was going to cancel but did not havr to.  Since they "fixed" the power problem this summer it has been so much worse.  In the house we are fine because we have a heat source with wood and stay cozy. We use the propane cook stove and wood stove for eating and gas laterns for light but it does get old. I hear there is another storm coming today. We wil see. Here are some pictures of my students in class.
