Sorry for the Silence!

It was purely unintentional, I assure you! Actually, our neighbor's house got struck by lightning on Wed, August 6th (don't worry, he's OK:), and the same lightning also fried our computer, DSL modem, and 2 phone lines! I tried to blog from the library, but it said the URL I was trying to access was a Pornography site and wouldn't let me access. (I know, too much info) Anyway, we now - as of today - have a loaner PC tower, received a new DSL modem, and got our phone lines fixed. Now we're waiting to see if our other tower can be fixed or if we need to purchase a new one. It's been a busy 1 1/2 weeks - painting 7 rooms of a friend's house, British soccer camp for the kids, picking cherries, making more jam, etc. I'll try to blog some pictures later this week - but as it is now after 1AM, I will close.
