An Unplugged Weekend

So here I was, blogging away about how much I love to wake up every morning and write a little something here.  Then, I went into the back yard and dug a new area for our vegetables.  Apparently the line was not buried very deep, and apparently my upper body strength is great because I managed to cut our phone line.  Of course, the phone company said we'd have to wait until Monday to have it repaired. 

And without the internet, I enjoyed life to the fullest!   I helped my husband to celebrate his birthday with dancing and cooking.  Without being dependent on the computer for inspiration, I remembered that I have a catalog of family recipes in my brain.  So Richard enjoyed a century old family recipe for potato salad, and some wonderful German baked goods from our historic Frankenmuth Cook Book. We are still enjoying the stollen and the homemade donuts.
I might be blogging less frequently because life is very good when you're not trying so hard to reach out.

  2. Lovely photo of you and Elliott! It's surprising what you can get up to when there's no internet connection around! Perhaps we should all try it a bit more often.
