Other possibilities

So, in trying to come up with ways to beat the slow internet here, we got up at 6:30 this morning and logged on, to see if the connection would be any faster at that hour.  Believe it or not, it actually was, and that lasted a good hour or so.  So, getting up early everyday may be what we're going to have to do.

I also went by Best Buy to see about an internet card, but we are still mulling that one over.  The provider we'd LIKE to go with (which has the fastest internet) makes you sign a 2-year contract, and we certainly don't need that right now.  The other possibility has a slightly slower speed, but at least you can go month to month.  So, we'll see.  Right now, we are at the neighborhood Starbucks, since Linda told us yesterday that all Starbucks now have free wireless.  We remember trying to use wireless at Starbucks before and what a hassle it was.  But no more.  I was able to log right in, no problem.  Thanks, Linda!!!

Maybe between getting up early and spending some time at Starbucks is how we'll be spending everyday.  But we'll still think about those internet cards......

We went back to the house in the afternoon, got the mail and walked back to the creek like usual.  It was very hot and we didn't stay very long.  While Guillermo was doing something else, I walked back into the house, and it was such a weird feeling!!!   I mean, the house feels like "ours".   "Those are our cabinets, our vertical blinds, our bedroom doors, that's our dining room, our bathroom, our door to the TV room" - those are the thoughts that came to mind while walking around.  Looking around at everything - it just looked so familiar - it felt like a very real part of us was being left behind.

But the house was hot, and dirty and messed up, so it was easy, anyway, to get on our way and get back to our nice comfortable trailer.
