My Birthday gift this year.

A couple of weeks before my birthday, my husband asked what I wanted this year. 

I replied that what I wanted, he couldn't give me.

"Oh?  What's that?"

"No bad news."

"How about we turn the internet off for a day instead?"

I stared at him open mouthed.  "You, sir, are a genius."

We didn't turn off the internet, but we did shut down the computers and turn the phones and kindles to airplane mode for 12 hours - 8 am to 8 pm.  The TVs stayed dark too, and we played a board game in the evening after dinner.  It was a beautiful thing, and I heartily recommend it.

Happy belated birthday!

Turning everything off sounds like a lovely idea. I shall give it a try one of these days.
