internetless on the frontier!

where the heck has wooly been? i've been in the land downunder-the land of no interenet use. it was real scary for awhile. i had to come to terms with the fact that yes, i had developed a real addiction to my laptop. facebook, ravelry, surfing and checking the weather was taking up way to much of my time.

Now, this lack of internet was not by choice-it was a situation with a horrible satellite company-who shall remain nameless, caused me to go without and living life on the frontier(i live in a place not considered to be "rural" but rather "frontier", so i'm told)-there just aren't many options for high speed internet.
the first few weeks were pretty darn hard.....then i just let it all go and saw the ridiculousness of it all. i used to be fine without a computer-got along just fine in fact. i just engaged myself in new or old favorite activities.


my friend claudia taught my youngest and i to bake bread. liam is a natural. he's great at kneading it. here's our very first batch.

we now bake several times a week. Been knitting up a storm!

unfortunately i haven't had time to photograph all my stuff-but promise to very soon!!!! as soon as this crazy spring weather calms, i can get out a take some pics!

i've visited historic cemeteries-one of my favorite things to do. guess i like hanging out with dead people. feels so calm and peaceful.




also, adorned in buckskin and calico i learned to shoot a black powder pistol and a rifle....

yeeha hot damn! that rifle had quite the kick to it. yes, i must admit-life is never boring-even without a computer. Been so dang busy haven't had a chance to even catch my breath.

i also became an Auntie again-squee! it's a girl! Rory Mckenzie. can't get any cuter than that. i get to knit gurlie things-yes!!!!

well, i must admit. i'm not internetless anymore. as of 6:28pm this evening-Houston, we have contact! but it has been a lesson well learned. it's okay to step away from the computer. it's amazing how much more there is to do.
try it sometime-just unplug!
