An entertaining night

Ok, so having power (I mean literal electric power) here is not always a guaranteed thing. Needless to say the power typically goes out at least once every couple of days for a little while, it's been happening pretty frequently lately but nothing to really complain about, but today...boy howdy! It went out maybe around ten or so and didn't come back on until 8 this evening. The day was fine, but tonight I went to the Pierce's for a dinner get-together for over twenty people and we were having to assemble it all by candle light and that was not so great at times. It kind of fun, but also presented a few hazards of cutting things in the dark...not a good thing. I wish to say that the power was the only thing, but to add to the "entertainment" nature of the evening, part of the dinner party was comprised of a family from South Korea who had been in Uganda for about a month and were able to head on to Kenya. Wow! They've been traveling for about two and a half years with their kids, I think they have about seven. They just wanted to have their kids see the world so they've gone everywhere from India, to Iran, to Pakistan, to France, to Egypt for a month or more at a time. At the end of the evening, they did a kind of concert for us where they even had traditional Korean costumes and played these really cool little flute things. It was really neat!
