A Day to Enjoy
It is a Monday!
Anticipation was high today on Stauffer Avenue. We were awaiting a service call from Mediacom. If it had not been for an ethernet cable to allow us to have internet, Dennis would have had his ditty bag packed ready to check into the Super 8 Motel here in town for their internet access.
Dennis views different sites in groups on Facebook. Everything from tractors, to horses to the latest reviews on zero-turn lawnmowers. Since giving up his RFD television channel, Faceb0ok is what has given him satisfaction.
A young fellow from Mediacom was here at 10:30. We had purchased Net Gear equipment to supplement us with wireless wi-fi. As the fellow worked with the diagnostics of it, there was no wireless of anything forthcoming. We decided to jump back on to Mediacom. The rental fee for the modem/wireless router, all in one, is $13.00 per month. I think we can swing that. The young fellow worked with setting the wi-fi booster that is needed to allow Dennis’ smart television to work in the patio porch. All is right with the world on Stauffer Avenue. I will box up what we had purchased of the Net Gear and make a return to Walmart when we visit the wound doctor on Friday.
I had a great visit with Linda this morning in the studio. Linda left with a car full of goodies for their church mission sewers. The amount of gallon baggies filled to bulging left her speechless . . . but not for long. I felt joy and relief that what I had to share was going to a great place with some great gals right here in town. It is a false belief that a body of water needs to be crossed before it is considered “mission work.” It sounds as if this group could be comparable to a chain-gang endeavor. Everyone has their specialty in the effort of turning out quilts. Now that the bolts of fabric and the floss has found a home where it will all be put to good use . . . Linda said we need to put our hearts together to pare down the Dueber’s button tree. Sweet!
Through all the activity of the morning, I put together a chicken oven meal. We had purchased some frozen chicken breast meat that was not very tender. This morning, I thawed until it cubed up perfectly. I steamed it, added some “Better Than Bullion Garlic” and pepper, a can of corn, cooked pasta and Alfredo Sauce. Supper will be served in fine fashion.
It has been a day filled with joy.
