A real community thing, with all ages involved - like in the olden days. As a youngster growing up in a small farming community, we had many celebrations that involved all ages - a thing not heard of these days, unless it's a family event. You got to know your neighbors and it seemed that everyone looked out for each other.<br /><br />I awoke this morning to no hydro, so hence no morning coffee. Ed's workplace called to say that he was not to come in, so he has the day off as well. I must say that Ed loves these kinds of challenges and quickly sprung into action. He got a fire going in the fireplace and before you know it, had water boiling for coffee -- even made toast. I have long held the belief that he was born in the wrong age and should have been born back in the 1800's. I on the other hand was thrilled when power came back on just after noon.<br /><br />Everywhere you look outside, everything is coated with about 2-4 cms of ice. It's actually quite beautiful. Overnight we had a few hours of freezing rain, then temps flucuated back and forth between 1 and -1 degrees. No snow has fallen as yet, but is forecast for later today - it should be a really pretty sight, but do hope the hydro doesn't go out again.<br /><br />Hope things are going well there for you guys and that Christopher is healing.

And so much commonality - the group game you mentioned (forming groups of the called number) - we play that game with our Brownies! In some cases I think the hugging is to keep them from falling over as they run at each other at breakneck speed to beat other girls to the group.
