Small things

This may not be suspenseful to most, but the modem saga at our house continues. Hang on.

We received an email today saying we had both a DSL and a cable internet account.  What did we want to do?  My email back to them said to cancel the DSL account.  An hour or two later they called me and left a message saying we had a technical problem.  So I thought... how dumb is that.  They probably didn't realise I cancelled the DSL account, and therefore wondered why it was no longer working.  So I called them anyway.  Turns out our new cable modem wasn't running as fast as it should.  "Could you sir, while on the phone, disconnect everything, and start over?".  I did that.  Same problem.  So now Rogers either needs to fix the speed remotely, or come over again!  And all along we thought the new speed was just great!

Pretty exciting stuff... right?

Do you feel that the small things in life get noticed these days?  They get bigger somehow.  They have meaning.

Like being able to work outside cleaning up "yard waste".  
Like putting a fixed flat tire back on my wheelbarrow.  
Like resetting a modem.
Like reading.

It's time for supper.  We're making it for 6:00 so that we can watch the vigil for the folks in Nova Scotia.  We have an old car blanket from Dad that is made from tartan.  We hung it up on the front beam of the front porch.  

Another small thing... with tons of meaning.
