The dishwasher is installed and it is wonderfully quiet. It even shines a light on the floor while it’s running so you don’t accidentally open it while it’s running. Bud’s suit will be ready tomorrow. Danita will pick it up and take it to Bud’s Wednesday. She’s hoping it will fit well, and  she won’t have to take Bud back to Jos. Banks to have more adjustments made. But what I’m really tickled about is our internet service. After our home phone number was ported to Ooma, I went on the internet and saw a deal for new customers — 100 MBPS for $45/month for 2 years (new customers only). I called Verizon and asked for the deal. The service rep was shocked that I asked, but she checked and decided she could give it to me. Our speed is twice as fast. We don’t notice that because we don’t need the additional speed. But I’m completely tickled by having the price for “triple play” cut almost in half. Simple minds are easily entertained, I guess.

So I’m saying we’re caught up. But it’s not really true. I usually wash the deck and porch in the fall, and I didn’t make it this year. I have no choice but to give up for the year. We had our first frost last night.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
