After a week without internet connection, I am back on line. How did we live without it in the "good old days"? I am guessing the reason for this difficulty to get on line had something to do with - see photo. That is DH with a machine he made just for that purpose. OK, maybe he wanted to lay a phone line from the shop to the house but it did a number on the underground cable. And why, you may ask, would he be putting in an underground phone line when we only have a cell phone?
Well, DW here had been complaining that it was not much fun to have to run out to the shop in the rain, and soon to be snow, to give him a message. Like "You have a phone call", "Dinner is ready", or "Are you still alive, since it is 2AM and I just awoke and you are not it bed?" I could not call on the cell phone because there is really poor reception in the shop. He is planning to put in some sort of communication method using the phone line.
Yesterday we spend the day helping a friend do some renovation on his 100 year old house. He needs to put in on the market but cannot until it is updated. In this case that means completely rewiring it. One hundred year old electrical wiring does not meet code. Surprise. DH helped by fishing new wires in the walls. I did some painting.
We came away so grateful for a new house. Ten years old is new compared to our friend's. But since we did not build our house there still are upgrades we want to do. Today we will purchase $1000 worth of insulation for the basement. And guess who will put it up. The progress, with photos, will be on upcoming blogs.

That's my dad - always doing projects that cause new projects.
does it run in the family Renee? :)
Being without internets is indeed horrifying. It's crazy how reliant we are on having information at a moments notice!
Great Blog Bernice! Another great holiday letter too. It's always fun getting an update.
Happy Holidays.
