The DSL modem came in yesterday. I installed and hooked it up,
and this has been the most fun I've had in a while, exploring what
dial-up can't offer. And everytime the phone rings, I jump.
It isn't supposed to do that when I'm online, ya know.
The last few days have been exceptional. The weather is
crisp. It has put me in a baking mood - the sweet potato bread
will be done in a few minutes - aaand, I'm making use of the hot tea
machine my son gave me for my birthday. Apparently, I had no clue
as to how to steep tea (hey, i'm southern, we drink it cold), because
the first cup of chamomile brewed in the machine was to die for.
I have a book to get back to - Savage Beauty, a biography of Edna St.
Vincent Millay (she was a remarkable woman, nothing ordinary about her
at all), so I'm off to read. I just had to try this from the
internet instead of being logged into the aol software.
y'all have a great week, and be safe!

Yay!! No more dial up! Isn't it cool?! We always had the computer on when we were at home. The first time we actually heard the phone ring after all these years we all looked at each other and said "What is that?!!" LOL! A few weeks after we got cable internet we canceled our home phone service -- who needs it now?!
You have a great week too!
Martha :-)
Good luck with the DSL, I've had it since I got my computer I never tried dial up. It's actually chilly down here now too, but they say the hot weather will be back next week for a short time again...never know how to dress.LOL...Sandi
Back younder our family was second to last to get rid of the out house. Looks like it will be that way for me with dial-up. Happy for you, Paula
You sound like you're in high fetter! I'll have to get me one of those hot tea machines. I'm a fan of Millay as well. I've never read Savage Beauty, so I guess I need to put it on my list of "to reads".
