Hi All,

Long time, no see. :^)))))

We are up and running now. Power was put in on 12/22 and today they finally officially turned on the DSL. Had some problems with the modem they sent me. We couldn't do a sharing on the line, so I called Bell South and told them I wanted to use my old Network equipment. They helped me get through the setup, Jeremy strung the wires under the house, and Darius is in her room catching up on forever and I am in my room doing the same.

I really feel out of touch. Until we got power (heat), our days revolved around the plan for staying warm each night.

Now we are starting to organize the yard/garden configuration, driveway and we set 3 posts today for building the pump house. I decided to cheat just a little by making it bigger to store some tools in. Until we get it housed, we have to watch the temps, cover the unit with blankets, so the tank and pipes don't freeze. When they forecast the temps in Gainesville to be 38, we expect it to be at least 5 degrees colder here at the house.

The day the power company came to put the poles in, it was 25 degrees in the morning. I was so excited to see them, I almost wet myself.

Despite the cold nights, the days are remarkably nice. It might get up to 60 or a bit higher. With the sun shining, clear blue skies and a little work outside to make some body heat, it's quite nice.

Unfortunately, I haven't the brain power nor the attention span capability to catch up on so much that I have missed here. I have missed you all and will do better from now on.

I will say, Casey, I feel for you on your problems in getting your new house. No matter what the circumstances, it's all a pain in the Neck, isn't it?

Molly
