I'm baaaaack!! Thanks Chads.

Actually, I've finally gotten back to the PC and have been trying to catch up on the thread. I had a couple of errands that could not wait another day.

While in the middle of answering FReepmail, I lost power and telephone service. Rumor has it that a crop duster clipped power lines and took out a transformer and all telephone lines. When we contacted the power company, we were told the power would be off for about 4 hours.

Okay, may as well take care of all the errands prior to the meeting. Have you ever taken a spit bath using a couple of bottles of bottled water? Living in the country, no power equals no water, and nothing except charcoal on the barby to heat any water on hand.

Of course, the cell phone was not fully charged, so calls had to be held to a minimum. A couple of days ago, I decided to get organized and transfer phone numbers from pieces of paper to my e-mail address book. Now.... how was I suppose to get to any of those numbers? I found the slip of paper with Chads and LIR's phone number. At last, a means to get a message to all of you!!

The power came on just as we were walking out the door, decided I really did not have time to log back onto FR if I wanted to have any chance of making my appointment.

Now, I will go back and see what I missed today. LOL

Hope to see you later tonight or tomorrow.
