Old Ways Still Good Ways

We had no power, phone or cable service after the storm. This situation left us with no lights, no electric stove or microwave cooking, no land line calls, no TV or computer, and the food in the fridge would soon be spoiling. Thankfully, the fall weather was mild and dry. We had some flashlights, candles and matches. For the boys we had plenty of baby food, which didn’t require refrigeration. Grandma and Grandpa Edds brought over takeout adult food and helped feed the twins’ baby food as darkness fell. After dinner we all went out on the screened porch to enjoy the cool evening breeze just as our ancestors did each night before modern conveniences. Each Grand held a sleepy baby boy to their chest while we all softly sang old songs by the moonlight.
