Making memories

It was the worst blizzard in years.
Power was out to the campus, we were on generator for the boilers.
So we dragged our sleeping bags into the commons and camped out there to conserve heat.
Coffee and sodas and hot chocolate and snacks, and everyone shouting SHUT THE DOOR! and laughing when someone came in from the cold.
It let up overnight, and in the morning we had a snowman contest.
The power came back, and we cleaned up the commons, and set up a campfire outside.
Roasting marshmallows, telling stores, and making memories that might last a while.
