Working together


We picked up a digital cable converter from Comcast this afternoon. We found out we could get a free digital starter package, so we decided to try it out - even though we don't have a digital TV. Anyhow, John got it all hooked up, and everything worked fine, menu, guide, etc., - EXCEPT - there was no picture. We called in the neighbors, unhooked and rehooked it, cussed and fussed and fumed. We had tried to call Comcast, but they said it would be a long time on hold. So we decided to have supper, then I'd spend some time on the phone waiting. After supper, I got all comfy, dialed the number, and......got right through to a person. The pleasant-sounding young man asked for the phone number and name, said to turn on the TV, and WOW!!!! there was our picture. All that commotion, and all he had to do was push a button at his end. I told him how wonderful he was, and he signed off with "Enjoy your new toy". Can't beat that.

Margaret called. She's planning to come over weekend after this, to help Sue when she comes to get the china cabinet. It's always fun when the girls get together. And they get so much work done. Maybe they can clean up the rest of the house, too. (That's a JOKE, girls!)

We had another good shower today. The rain is so spotty that the drought isn't broken yet, but right now, we'll take every drop we can get.

Today's picture is of sisters working at the beach. 8^)
