The portable internet device arrived at 4pm yesterday.
I had it assembled in two minutes flat.
I called the Verizon lady and she was impressed with my tech ability.
I told her it was sheer desperation.
I did not say I was slightly tipsy from shoulder pain medicine.
The shoulder is somewhat better today and I am resisting the garden but it is hard.
Thanks for all your well wishes yesterday.

CC has started her two English papers she is writing over spring break and had her
uncle who is far sharper than I here late into the night helping her.
In other news here at Olive Out my sister-in-law and I went garage salen on Saturday and I have not shared her stellar finds with you. I went sans coffee and walked right by several goodies like a complete nut.
How about this double headed concrete ram?
It has fabulous patina and I walked right by it.
Sue did not.
It was five dollars.
Sue bought this animal print ottoman also for five dollars.
I never saw it.
No Coffee.
About two hours into the morning I started to come around and bought this
cheese dome on Dansk china.
It was four dollars.
I bought the William Rogers silver plated pitcher with decorative handle
and spout for four dollars.
The top was bent just a little and Joe fixed it for me.
The Reed and Barton pitcher behind it is another thrifty find.
The mini silver cake dome, which makes me smile,
came from Goodwill for $1.21 for goodness sakes.
Linking with:
joy and peace
Olive
