Greetings Earthlings !
Tis I , back from vacay and basically taking the summer off with an occasional post or 3. ( Actual disclaimer..there wasn't a whole lot to write about and I bored the crap out myself even with all the bitching I was doing. Venting is one thing but too much is still too much).
Anyhoo.......................
As I said, vacation was great. It is always nice to see Sistah and all the family but I found that one of the things that I enjoyed the most was being totally disconnected .
You heard me.
Disconnected.
You see, out in the Paloose where I was, the farm is far enough out of town that you have to go into town to basically get cell service. Oh there is the occasional , random fluke bit of 2 inch area out by the Hottub ( Admit it, you're reading that word and hearing Eddie Murphy in your head, aren't you ? ) on the back patio but if all of college twinkies are back ( they were all bright eyed and bushy tailed )
all of the possible signals were kaput. I know it sounds scary but if there was an actual need, it's not far to town so it wasn't like re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic by any means.
I did not miss TV . Easily caught up on and everything is a rerun except :
SISTAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"HAVEN ALERT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S RETURNING THIS THURSDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry , indoor voice now in use .
Neither did I miss Faceslap..err....Facebook.
Okay..maybe I missed Criminal Case a bit but the game isn't going anywhere.
The point is that none of us really realize how wired in we are, especially my generation. Hell most 6 year olds know more than I do about the innerwebs. But it is possible nevertheless to actually engage in moments of real conversation and shared experiences...and I highly recommend it . Now you might not be as lucky as I was to share early morning coffee with tame deer each morning ( twin fauns, 3 does and a 4 point....and they were completely cute and tame as long as they limited themselves to the old apple orchard and not the potted petunias on the patio . Then they are told to shoooo....yes, they are that tame.)
Do yourself a favor.
Embrace silence when you can.
Enbrace friends when you can .
Have a great week.
Ciao,
Aunty Pol

Amen, honey! Embrace those friends and vow to unplug more often!
Welcome home! Glad it was good and relaxing! Only thing I've been watching new is the Doctor (waited for S8 with bated breath and, yes, I adore Capaldi). So now I'll have 2 new to watch startin' this week. ;-)
Did I tell you I found a home for Rupert (big orange guy)? Well I met his mom today and she's interested in a girl child, too! Woohoo! If she's willing to take Roberta, that means I'll be down to my 4 and the "unadoptable" 3 fosters (I'm still holding out hope for Lucy and Buster... they were ferals and are still very skittish around anyone but me, but maybe one day...). It's kind of strange having had only adults since Lucy's litter. I jones for babies but tell myself I must be satisfied reading IBKC and Sue's FB. :-)
