1. WE HAVE POWER! Who knew how amazing running water, electricity, WiFi and heat could be? You know what I’m most excited about? Vacuuming. And doing laundry. And taking a hot shower. And not sleeping in the cold. Okay, I’m excited about lots of stuff.

2. THANK YOU! Thank all of you for all the cards and letters and little gifts  you’ve been sending. I am humbled by all the support and it means the whole world to me. I read them all and save them for the inevitable sucky days when I need a little pick-me-up. Y’all are awesome and you make me feel like I can do anything.

4. Newsweek’s International edition has a round-up of luxury farm stays this week and guess who’s in it?

[If anybody living outside the U.S. sees a copy on the newsstand, could you grab one for me?
