Yesterday was quite interesting

Tweet

On Saturdays we usually watch a teaching from our favorite Rabbi, then go to a friend's house where we do some studying and then we eat. However, yesterday's plans went into a different direction, somewhat similar to what happened with my son when he couldn't get on his computer. (You can read about that here: So yesterday morning was like most Saturdays, until an hour into the teaching when we lost power. (It was raining, but no lightening, but like I told my son, it could have happened miles from us) Anyway, this was abut 11 in the morning and the power company estimated it would be back on by 2. That was good, because I was going to make blintzes for dinner, however, around 2:30, they pushed the time to 4. I ended up making a salad from the romaine lettuce in my garden and some strawberries I had for the blintzes. My husband wasn't feeling well, so he stayed home and my son and I left. We got back about 7 and my husband said the power didn't come back on until 5, but then we realized our internet was not working. Again, anther outage, they estimated it would be back on around 8, but it was probably closer to after midnight because it was till out when I went to bed, and was back on this morning. So, I thought it was pretty cool, because my son watched a movie with us (he never watches a movie with us unless it is at a theater) and I felt it was a little family time that we rarely get. Truthfully, I wouldn't mind more outages like that, since it is technology that has divided my family. What about you? Do you feel technology has cause a division in your family?
