Here is my story of being on vacation with no internet...

We rented a cabin at a resort, no t.v., no phones, far away from a city with a library. I got the bright idea to ask the owner if I could use his office computer "to check my mail". He said of course, it was in his home but he would call his wife and I could go right up. Just then Mr. D. appeared and he was appalled that I would invade their privacy like that and told the owner thanks but no thanks, it is not that important, then he gave him a wink and a nod as in "I am so sorry, she must not have taken her meds today, she won't bother you again" and he led me away....As with most addictions, after two or three days I was "okay". lol..

We made the first leg of the trip and are at my parents. Upon arrival at 5:00 p.m. mom begged me to stay with her tonight (meaning off the internet) and help put a photo album together after dinner for a counsin's 50th birthday...

we had a lovely dinner, watched the sunset and are now working on the album. (ah hem...I'm unpacking as we speak (although we're pulling out at 8:00 a.m.) Plus...gosh this is a REALLY NOISY KEYBOARD....I'm afraid I could get caught LOL.

Tomorrow spending the day at my brothers new cottage at Walloon Lake in Northern Michigan....not sure I'll even get a chance to get to the library....Sure hope it's open on Sunday....

If not, have a good weekend all...see you on Monday (or later tonight after mother goes to bed!)

She just yelled at me....Caught! See you all later!
