One Hour Without Electricity....

And you can do it too! Today is the day for Earth Hour. At 8:30 this evening, turn everything off for an hour...it is that simple.

Pull out the candles or the oil lamps. Have some old fashion chit chat and fun. Or just enjoy the silence. We'll be playing hide-and-go-seek in the dark. The kids love to play that when the power goes out! And they like to get spooked...it is funny how no electricity makes their imaginations go wild! Every little noise suddenly becomes six feet tall, covered in hair, with glowing eyes, and an appetite for small children.

Have fun! :)

  2. Well I kinda did it. I didn't switch off the daughter's computer. Still ran the frig and freezer of course. But I did turn off the lights and cause I am in the middle of a good book, I got out the flash light. I think I might have me an earth evening at least once a week and see how it works.
