We'd just finished cooking dinner tonight when the power went out! The table was set and all of the side dishes were on the table. I'd just taken the ham out of the oven and was about to cut it when we had to go running around the house to find some candles. There was just enough light from outside for me to cut the ham by.
We had a very nice candle-lit dinner. There were six of us: Susan and me, the kids and Eric's girlfriend Maryl. It was so quiet though. Usually the TV is on and we are sitting in front of it. It was nice to have a relaxing, quiet dinner where the only outside noise was Kyle's phone vibrating every five minutes as people texted him.
Shortly after we'd finished dinner, the power came back on. It was a good break to help us slow down a bit and think about what we were thankful for. I feel sorry for all of the people who were right in the middle of cooking though. That would really have put a damper on the evening.
