Still no internet at the house. I'm trying to get some estimates for clean-up in the yard and will be calling my insurance this afternoon to discuss replacing the back porch (I keep hoping the internet is going to come back on so I can "talk" with someone that way). I'm off work today because the boss needs to do something on Friday morning so I ( Read more... )

My laptop is repaired! I got the call Friday to come pick it up. It's working perfectly again so I can finish writing my latest Amish romance plot and get started on some Xmas plots for the publisher. I also need to get working on one called "Love Gone Awry" for an anthology. I'm thinking robots and AI and mistaken identity...
