I'd say it's about once every few months that we lose power. (Living out in farmland?)
It'll last maybe an hour. ...maybe 4 or 5. So knowing it's temporary makes for a fun time to reconnect and play with a little fire. ...Brenda.
Last night it was after 7, sometime. There's a flurry of excitement while we shut down and light up. Flashlights are popular toys and candles are NOT to be played with. ...Brenda. Garret had already passed out for the night but the rest of us enjoyed a late, candle-light dinner. Tuna- a favorite of Brenda's and fruit- Suzie's.
Later, Brenda went to bed with a battery-powered lantern, Mike drove to Walmart to charge his phone in the car and buy jello, and Suzie and I settled into my bed with a candle and a pile of books.
The house was delightfully/eerily quiet without any tv, radio, fans, computer whirring...
Maybe we should do this more often?

My kids love it when the power goes out...for like 5 minutes, then they realize they can't play on the xbox without power...
We may need to do that sometime...looks like a blast!
