February 1, 2011 - Twelve Days & Counting

The hotel reservation has been made, and we'll be heading home in twelve days! Mr. Granny says we're going whether it blizzards or not. After all, we do have a 4-wheel drive pickup. We should be home by Valentine's Day, with lots candy for the grandkids.

I'll be so happy to get back home to civilization. I'm having internet problems here again. Sunday everything was fine, but Monday morning there was nothing. There's still nothing, so I'm at the library today, trying to catch up. If I can't find Kolby, the "keeper of the net", I'll be MIA for a bit. I hate it when that happens :-(

    Oh Granny it will be nice to have you back in your sexy garden. The cocky cactus garden just isn't you. ;> Plus I miss you when your internet goes down.

    Daphne, I miss all of you when my internet goes down. I hope I don't have a problem with Charter Cable when I get home. They had my account so messed up, now I don't even seem to have an account with them any more!

    EEEK! You can't have messed up internet in BOTH places! :-( THat would make me sad. I will be happy when you are home, but I will worry until you are safe and sound.

    Oh, Barbie, I don't mean messed up like I won't have any, I mean messed up because they got my billing all wrong. They owed me money for a partial month (I had prepaid), but instead of refunding my 20-plus dollars, they charged me over 70 dollars! They were supposed to correct it and charge me $9.95 a month to keep the account active through the winter, but they never billed me for that! I just checked my status, and it is showing I have a $20.45 credit. Who knows what will happen when I return :-( Oh well, I guess I can always go with Clear if Charter makes me unhappy. I hate Clear with a passion.

    I am SO GLAD to hear that. I know YOU'VE missed home (real home!) and I know WE'VE missed you (sucky internet) so YEA for Mr. Granny--he'll get you there!

    Sue...Yes! Yes! and Yes! Of course, everyone at home is sick right now, so I must go armed with multivitamins, extra vitamin C and some zinc. For us! Maybe face masks and Purell would come in handy, too ;-)

    Congratulations! You've been anxious to head home for a while, and it's happening. On the selfish side, it will be good for us that you have more reliable internet access.
    I got seeds from Parks today, but, darn, it's too soon to plant them, even indoors.

    Oh boy, 12 days and counting. You sure will be glad to have full-time internet again. But thank goodness for the library! You would be totally cut off without it? Have a safe trip.

    I know it probably doesn't seem like it to you, but that flew by!

    Glad to hear the clock is ticking and I am very much looking forward to you rambling home too!

    Good thing it's not NOW...horrible weather!

    I know the frustration the Cable people can cause. They don't always run things right but you can never prove it, they always seem to have an out!...Bear with it , things could be worse...

    I am happy to read that you will be heading home soon. Back to your garden, back to your family, and back to being online regularly. I am keeping my fingers crossed that you won't have any problems with Charter.

    Granny, I think that you should put a count down counter on your blog....counting the days until you leave! I guess it will be difficult to do since you are having internet issues.

    Well this is good news! Now you just have the "getting ready to go" tasks to take care of. We are all looking forward to your getting back to your old homestead and more reliable internet connections. :D

    I can't believe that it will be warm enough for you to head back. That is a short snowbird residency.

    looking forward to the progress reports from home even if we are under 2 feet of snow layered with 1" of ice.

    Oh, Mr. Granny - my hero!

    I can't wait to read all about your spring and summer gardens.

    Twelve days seems like forever!
