Sometimes we get what we want without expecting it. Birthdays and Christmas aside it is rare that we receive something we didn't even know we needed.
A ship took out the power lines to the island we live on some time yesterday afternoon. It was different seeing the island dark. The stars were amazingly bright in the ocean's darkness. Coleman lanterns, board games, and family reunion time was the order of the night. Hot dogs and smoked sausage filled our bellies. Preparing mountains of blankets and donning our warmest pajamas led us to slumber and be awakened finally by the return of the power returning to warm our water, cool our milk, and heat our reunited hearts.
I believe Santa came last night.
This blog has nothing to do with slogans. What would the three word slogan be for that? No Slogan Blog.

You are just the best husband a girl could have! I agree with you that the night the "lights went out in GA" was just what we needed. It was beautiful outside and it gave us all a chance to bond without tv's or phones ringing. I don't think we needed to lose power to bond as a family but it didn't hurt to get rid of distractions.
