When The Lights Went Out


Last Friday night we had a long power outage in our community. I was driving home from town that evening and it was strange to see total blackness on one side of the road for miles and miles. Then on the other side of the road that I was driving, it was all lit up with twinkling lights for miles and miles. I knew it was going to be a dark night because we live on the dark side of the road! ;)
When I got home, Randy had the lantern lit and the kids had their flashlights out. The plan for the evening was to mix and stuff the summer sausage. Here we are gathered around the lantern at the kitchen table.

Kyla also attempted to practice her piano lessons with the help of Colter holding the light. It's always an adventure to have an evening like this once and awhile...


But just "once and awhile"!

Looks kind of Little House on the Prairie-ish. Minus the flashlights, of course. Hee. Definitely kind of fun unless it stretches on longer than a day. Glad to see you all kept cozy, anyway.
