Nights we just go to bed since there are so few windows for lighting. if it’s during the day we go in the backyard for a few and watch the storm but mostly stay inside and play games.

I could feel the panic overwhelming me and then I said "Hey, play cards you guys!". They did, and then half of them got out the Clue game. All went well and it was back on in about an hour. Four of them stayed over night and the others went home later. I have to laugh because last Friday I had four 15 year olds, and 3 14 year olds in the house during a storm when the power went out.

We watch movies on my laptop. I've lived without cable or network television for seven years. It's bliss. I’ve lived without a tv set since we came back to the US in 2006.

We play games, light a few candles, tell stories and "camp out" in sleeping bags in our living room. In the winter we build a fire, and in the summer we open the windows and air out the house a bit.
