Blackout
The power went out at our house last night around 8:00PM or so. This doesn’t happen all that often, and it’s not all that big of a deal most of the time, but when you’re a five-year-old who’s afraid of the dark, it can be a big deal. We got out all our emergency candles and flashlights, but no matter how you sliced it, it was dark. Fortunately, Pasadena Water and Power was on the ball. They got the lights back on by midnight, so Lucinda could sleep with her night light on again.

The electricity going off in our house started a new tradition–candle night, when we would turn off all of the lights,light some candles, and tell stories, just like in the old days…my kiddo loved it. We should start it up again now that there’s another youngin.
