Our family had an interesting episode tonight. We were planning a night of movie and light dinner but right as we were preparing to put in the movie, the power went out and stayed out for an hour.

So instead, we had a pioneer night. We built a fire and lit candles and mused about how we only had a little time between the indian attacks to eat our dinner.

After we ate I read a little out loud --no not Little House on the Prairie but from an old Tom Swift book of my dad's.

It is fun to do imaginary things every now and then, the imagination is a wonderful gift. Just about the only thing we didn't do was get out the guns and fight the indians. That will be tomorrow night...
