Off the Grid

You know that saying be careful what you wish for, you just might get it? well yeah you guessed it... I know it's been two forever's since I've posted on here... and I apologize but so much has gone on in the past 3 years that I wouldn't know where to start.. so I'll start with a thought I had today... which is Why did I ever want to be OFF the GRID.... but I did and I do still except that man is it ever hard to get used to not always being connected... via telephone, long  distance and internet... it's very hard to get used to it. Especially since once your whole life for the most part centered around online community *connectedness* immediate access to any information you could ever want at the tips of your fingers. Well let me tell you getting that cozy connected feeling out in the boonies of Tennessee is a whole lot different from living in a major metropolis... we finally have a land line and now 10 days later the outgoing long distance is hooked up.. Yea! and if you go sit under hubby's desk and hold your mouth right don't breathe for gods sake... you might get a call on your cell phone... so now we have to pay extra for any long distance we use (since we can't use the cell phones which come with unlimited long distance) but you know what? I'm just tickled pink that if I have to I can now make a call out of my phone exchange...

the thing is it really is worth it... to be somewhat off the grid... it's only 10 miles to Walmart after all and that's so much better than having it right across your street behind a dilapidated 6 foot wooden privacy fence..

I really am going to try and post here more often... and I'll take time later to slowly catch you up

for now I bid you ado.. from the hollers of beautiful Tennessee...
