I'm finally here... after another wonderful road trip. When we arrived home on Tuesday, we had no telephone landline service and no Internet. Ugh! Hubby had the name of subcontractor with the phone company who had been doing work out here, so contacted him to find out what happened to our "high-speed" service. He couldn't understand what happened because he installed a new piece of cable by our house a week ago and all was working well. He couldn't come out to check until Wednesday morning, but would be there at 9 a.m. Wednesday morning, Ed went to find the guy, and sure enough he was there ... and with a 'weird' story for Ed. Because he couldn't book a trencher for a month to bury the new cable, he strung the new cable on top of the ground between two pedistles. He discovered that some animal (probably a gopher or mole) had chewed through the cable and disconnected our service again. Yikes! The joys of country living!
It's now working well, and I have my Armchair Travels segment up and running. I have also posted this in a Bulletin for my friends to see it. I've received numerous messages from friends, reminding me that I had promised to post pictures when we got home. Here they are...

I haven't yet had time to catch up on other blogs, but now that I have the "service", I'll be back.
