High Speed Here We Go!

WOW! I'm cruising now baby. This high speed Internet is NICE! Now I don't have to go wash dishes or do laundry while I wait for something to come up. I highly recommend it. It would be easy now to spend too much time on the puter, to sail from one thing to another.
Hubby has worked for weeks to get it for us and a handful of neighbors. We are right on the border line to get it, our neighbor to the North is out of the boundary line, we barely made it. He made phone calls after calls, pulled some strings, tweaked some noses, twisted a few arms, made some 'inside' phone calls, went over heads to work around some 'stallers' and WAALA, it's here. If our house set just a few more feet down the road, we couldn't get it. Eventually, who knows when, next year maybe, it might have come our way. It's nice to have a hubby who works for the phone company. He was pulling hard for our neighbor to get it ,her husband left for Iraq and she needed high speed to communicate with him. Mom, you know her, she and her family lived in your travel trailer twenty some years ago.
Home schoolers went to the IMAX yesterday. Took Tim, Lucina and Miss Beth, had a nice time. It was cold, windy and rainy, snow blowing, yes both, but we found a nice parking place under I64, overlooking the Ohio river. We just sat there awhile, since we were early, and watched the wind whip up white caps and [sea?] gulls bobbing up and down on the waves. The film was interesting, about 'Our Wonderful Ocean' not the exact title, I've slept since then. Of course, we hit the Goodwill stores on the way back, it was nice to spend some time together. Came home in time to warm up leftover good, creamy rich potato soup for supper. It warmed the tummy and hit the spot.

Hi Y'all, Not much to say. There's an ominous, threatening black cloud hanging over us, hope it moves on. The wind is gusting something fierce. I suppose it's the same in your area too.
Hubby just brought me a piece of icecream cake, trying to plump me up some more.
Wow, the sun just popped through the dark clouds, nice. I'm sitting here soaking up the gardenia perfume, hanging heavyly around me. I recomend a gardenia plant to anyone who likes flowers. I told myself, "Myself, I'm not going to bother bringing it in this fall, just let it freeze." I then thought of how long I've had it, maybe six or more years, and how good the one lone flower smelled last year, so I repotted it in a bigger pot and brought it in. Glad now that I did. It took off with a new lease on life and rewarded me, covered in blooms. I have so enjoyed it this winter. They bloom on new growth so don't trim them back at the wrong time.
I'm watching a bird in the feeder just inches from the window. He's trying to pick up two sunflower seeds at the same time and can't, guess he's afraid another will get it.
I'd best get to my icecream before I have to drink it. So long.
