We got our internet and  T V back today after eight days. A mixed blessing I think. During our time without, we actually played cards and listened to the radio. Our neighbors and friends (still without power) came over for dinner on Sunday and brought a great bottle of wine ( I don’t even drink anymore but it was really good) and we had a great time talking eating and laughing. No television or internet to interrupt. Hmn…. we used to live without the internet for sure and some (like my Mom remember when the radio was the only entertainment. Conversation was fun. We enjoyed each other. Is it gone forever? Well the stuff is back on and I’m afraid that it will only be hours until we are back to what we were. Only engaged with our stuff. I think I’m sad as well as grateful.
