That's right, we were without internet service the entire weekend.  We have a bundle from our cable company that has television, phone, and internet all in one. When one part goes down, the whole thing goes down.  It happened to be late enough in the day that they couldn't schedule anyone to come out until this morning.  

It really was a downer for me because I couldn't write any articles, and I couldn't share my good news with all of you.  I have a new full time job.  I'll be cashier at the 55 Plus park we live in.  That means I'll be collecting the rents, making bank deposits, and whatever else they come up with for me to do.  Don't worry though.  I'll still be writing articles for this site.  I enjoy doing that because it encourages me to research things I might not otherwise do.  

You might wonder if being without internet and television for 48 hours did any damage to us.  Not hardly!  We actually sat and talked with eachother like we hadn't done for quite some time.  We got a few projects done around the house because we weren't glued to either machine.  I got some devotions read, and started a very good book.  We spent time with some good friends and got acquainted with new neighbors.  We took walks and enjoyed the white squirrels that live in our park. (This park was written up in a wildlife magazine a few years ago because of all the white squirrels that live here.)  Yes, we both missed having the TV and the internet but I think it actually did us good to be without it for a couple of days.  Your family should try it sometime, you might be surprised at what you find.
