DSL Is Fixed! (Update added)

June 18, 2010 - Update - Spending time with daughter and grandkids. Kathleen got her hair cut today... bangs! I smashed a chicken the day before... the fence thingy I put up to keep Morgan out of the coop fell over and trapped a hen. Kristine saved the chicken and the hen is ok now. The sickly Wyandotte is moving faster and seems to be feeling better. The chickens and Morgan are out and about the property and the fox has not been back. I did keep the chickens locked up on Sunday when most of the fox attack seem to occur... when people lock up their dogs when they go to church?

Amazing how the days fly by when there are children around to keep you busy. I'm clearing paths to use to pull the kids around in the garden wagon. The mosquitos love the kids even though they are covered with mosquito repellent. Sometimes I think the stuff attracts the mosquitos. I don't wear any bug stuff. The mosquitos don't seem to like me and I keep moving. If I stand in one place and say, water the garden, then the mosquitos will bite.


No photo, but Kristine's birthday chocolate cake is very good. I had another piece tonight after dinner. I could eat the whole cake!


I hope to resume regular posting in a week. The new blogger design feature is interesting, but I will have to wait until I have time to play with it. Thanks for the comments!


DSL just went out again... working now. No idea what the problem is. This started out to be a sentence or two. I should have made a new post.

June 14th --- Just a quick post. The repair person came out to the house to check the DSL and then left to do something back at the office. Whatever he did restored our internet to our delight and at no cost.

Amazing how much I miss not having the ability to connect to what is going on in the world when the connection to the internet is out.

This photo is of the grandkids meeting and greeting an alligator up close and personal.

The alligator was rather calm considering all the kids and noise... although the alligator did provide an original moment earlier when he peed on the table. Wow! The kids got to see alligator pee. They all thought that was pretty cool.

This Wyandotte is not doing very well. She has droopy wing feathers and is moving slow. We are watching her and so is her Buff buddy who is keeping her company. They are sunning themselves on the porch near Morgan who is by the door on the right. I only got her tail in the photo.
