We are getting along really well being able to adapt to restrictions and find ways to do things instead of complain about not being able to do as we used to do.

Im am in respect to having only ever had three emails, still have the same cell number since I got a cell phone, and I don't do online shopping, or amazon, online book things like Kindle, none of those new fangled channels like Net Flicks and such, general cable package. I mostly watch PBS. The only appliances I have to help in the kitchen are a microwave and a Kitchenaid and toaster...everything else done by hand, and coffee is slow dripped. <br /><br />And I still hand write letters to family and long ago friends. I'm a young dinosaur.Mistress Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098940220513091207noreply@blogger.com
