I had some time at school, so I thought I would update you all on where we've been. First off, school started, which means my computer time is limited to creating vocabulary tests and unit quizzes. Secondly, we don't have the Internet at our house. I know most of you are asking, what we could possibly do with our time at home...and why don't we have the Internet at our house?
To answer the first question, not having the Internet, or cable has been great for my health. I bike, ride my horse, or hike with the dogs, and I keep a mean clean house. Of course I no longer know what my friends are doing, if they've have two more babies, if someone has died or acquired a new dog, but then I guess ignorance is bliss.
We don't have the Internet because we live in the town The Truman Show was based on. The Internet is too vast for Big Brother to control, so only dial-up is available. Jarred and I refuse to pay for dial-up. Now our neighbor is perfectly happy eating an entire meal while checking only one email message. No thanks. The good news is that DSL is on its way. We signed up at the end of August and were initially told we would be up and running by the middle of Sept. We were recently told the end of Sept. and now it looks like we'll be waiting two more weeks. Maybe by them our house will sell?
Not having the Internet at our house has definantly hurt the progress of my blog. No new updates on Jarred's scabs, broken bones, or his newly acquired Mazda wheelbarrow. So until we are able to live in modern times, you all will have to be patient.

Thanks for explaining. You might not read this until Dec. but now I know why you are a blog-slacker.
Looking forward to you having DSL!! Blog slacker, for sure!! You still have 100 more adventures to go....
What is a Mazda Wheelbarrow?? I might have to google it since you might not see my message until an owl delivers it to you on a scrap of paper : ) Write when you can - I love to know what everyone is up to!!
