There is Hope

I have been on the internet for almost half an hour, conversing with Izzarina over at Flosculi and posting on my own blog, without interruption in service. *\0/* That is me cheering with my little pom poms. Maybe Lily is back on line...I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up too high, it has been quite a while since we've had decent service. I suppose it is the price one pays for the quiet solitude of rural country living. At least I get DSL, some much larger areas do not get that. Hey, they had to give us something as we don't even get television service where we live. Now, that is a good thing.

While we haven't had internet service we discovered that our library has a very nice stash of videos and DVDs to borrow. Our library has been undergoing renovations so we haven't been there much. We also have an obscene amount of books in our possession. There is a story to that but not for today's time slot. What have we watched this week? Bourne Identity, Oklahoma, A discovery video about Wild Cats (made my 4 yo cry when the lion killed the zebra) and tonight we are tuning in to see Alessandra Ferri dance in Romeo and Juliet, with the Royal Ballet.

I cannot wait to see it.

That is the update from the Thorns residence for now. I'm pushing my luck staying on line this long, but there is hope for better service.

Flosculi

I just discovered a delightful blog, written by an amazing mother of eleven children. I 'know' Izzarina from elsewhere and I'm just tickled that she has a blog and I can keep up with her a bit better now. Do stop in and read her blog and tell her I sent you :-). She has a very cool feature on her blog, where you can type your smiley (like I did above) and it morphs into an actual smiley. Isn't that awesome? As a preview, here's a picture I nicked from her blog, of cookies her dd made for her. She has gotten me thinking about some fun topics. Since my internet is intermittent it seems these days I hope I can manage a post or two in the near future.

Don't those cookies look awesome? The picture is from her post called, "Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies are Evil" LOL. Go read her blog, she is very witty and entertaining, though she will deny it.
