Dinner in Darkness

Yesterday when we returned home from running errands, our power was out (who knows why...there was no wind or storm or anything).  We had about an hour of daylight before it got dark.  And we were hungry. Around 6 o'clock I (Deric) asked, "What should we do for dinner? Fast food? Take Out?"  Then I suggested, "What if we use our camping stove and cook something?" Rebecca thought that was a fun idea.   So I made grilled cheese and tomato soup on the camp stove while Rebecca got a salad, fruit, and drinks ready.  We ate our dinner on the front lawn under the stars without any intruding light from street lamps.  The evening was delightful with the clear sky and cool temperature.  We look forward to the next time the power goes out!
