Yesterday, the power went out in our entire city. After we scrambled to grab our candles and flashlights, we sat outside to enjoy the last few hours of sunlight. It was truly amazing to see all of our neighbors out on the streets talking to each other and socializing. We didn't have the "comforts" of our phones, televisions, or computers but we did have each other. Our whole community came together last night and it was so wonderful to experience.
As for us, we spent the evening playing UNO by candlelight and giggled. I vowed to have "blackout night" regularly so we could ditch our technology and have some fun! I also put candles on the shopping list. :-)
Here's to a lovely weekend... and some hours un-plugged.
