Our internet has been hit or miss the last week. One day last week, it was off for several hours. Saturday it went off at some point and stayed off about 4 hours. I had already gone to sleep but Vince said it went off about midnight last night and was off til 10:30 this morning.
When there’s no internet, it gives me a little glimpse of what COULD happen if, for whatever reason, we lose internet for an extended time.
Saturday I was wanting to can some stuffed pepper soup and had not printed the recipe. I thought about it but just never did it. I had patreon charts from July that I had not printed. I usually load all the new pdf projects into Pattern Keeper, which I could use without the internet, and I was behind on doing that. I vowed to do better because you never know when the internet is going to be down, whether a local problem or a bigger problem.
Vince said “Let’s go to town!” About all he has to do while sitting inside is play a game he likes on the computer and he couldn’t do that. I had plenty of cross stitching, more canning and laundry I could be doing but we went to town. I worked out well because there were more quart jars at Walmart and I am down to my last two cases. I am going to try to get more potatoes from Azure to can and that takes almost 4 full cases so I got those.
Oh, my goodness . . now he wants to go to Carthage. He said “You have on makeup. Your hair is combed. You have on a bra! How could I say no? 🙂
I’ll be back . .

Judy do you have hot spot on your cell phone? I know on the occasions when when we have lost internet service is use our phones. Since there are 3 of us here we will do one phone and all 3 of us can use it. When we have been out for some time another will use theirs–since you only get so much hot spot without having to pay extra for it. Just a thought. That way Vince could play his games, you can find your recipes and patterns for your cross stitch.

We don’t have cell service at the house. We have to use wifi calling to make a call or connect to wifi to use the phone for the internet.
