We still want to live here, no doubt about that!
Our phones work again. Have I mentioned that I loathe AT&T? Which is funny, since we are living this Hawaiian life in part due to the man's father. He was the West Coast V.P. of AT&T when he retired about ten years before his demise. Anyway, life with no phone wasn't so bad. In the way that no Facebook or satellite television is not so bad. I admit that being free of the outside world has a certain appeal. Except for the connection to my children, which is of great importance.
Which is a good segue into my latest read of last week... Robinson Crusoe. I hadn't ever read it. The storyline has always had a strong appeal to me. Speaking of being free of life's so-called necessities! I liked this quote- "Between thee and me is a great gulf fixed." I relate to that on a couple of levels.
Am currently reading my father's boyhood copy of Robin Hood. Never read that either, perhaps because I was told it was a "boy's book." As was Robinson Crusoe, and Kipling's Stories for Boys, which I will read next. I was likely urged to read books like Heidi, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, and Little Women. Sexism as it relates to raising children. Ugh.
