When the kids were young, it was a fun time running around the house with flashlights in hand, eating by candlelight if it were after dark, and just waiting for the "lights" to go back on.... And little boys (and sometimes girls) were meant to get dirty. Remember the definition of a boy...A boy is a noise with dirt on it!! And we have a "crank Radio", and more than once, have listened to a game on that radio during our unfortunate black outs. Those are the times we remember. As long as family is together, we get through it all with them at our side. xoxo<br />LISAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014683495951094188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938850319958532977.post-15431527349980400462013-07-12T10:43:54.313+02:002013-07-12T10:43:54.313+02:00So true, family is what life is all about.
