Do you have any ways of making things magical when your power goes out?
When the storm has passed over, and the power is out on a summer evening -- all the neighbors on our street come out of their houses and chat and catch up until it gets too dark to stay outside. It is like the time before television and computers - when people were outside more. That is magical. Especially when the power comes back on before too much time passes.
Last time the power went out in a big area - but one part of town did not lose electricity. Everyone crowded into the little old diner i n that part of town. Those waitresses deserved all the big tips they earned that day -- they were flying! And everyone was SO HAPPY to go in and get coffee! And hot food!
