Communication restored!

Well we are back in the land of the internet once again. After a delay of over 12 days we are once again able to get online at home. For those of you praying for our house sale, we lost communication just hours after faxing the final contract back to our real estate agent. Isn't it neat how God worked that out!
We have sorely missed being able to just email our family at will and even more we have missed being able to talk with them. Through the internet we can talk to our family using a regular phone. They can call a number in Pine Mountain, GA and it is routed to us through our computer to us here. It is just like calling a # in the states so our parents and my brother call us on their cell phone and it is free for them. Everyone just has to make sure it isn't the middle of the night somewhere. Although recently I would have gladly gotten up at 2 am to talk to them. It is wonderful to hear beloved voices from home. Hard to believe when our partners the Nelsen's arrived in 1994 that there wasn't even the internet here. The world is constantly shrinking!
We are still having power outages though. It is making life an adventure because we never know if we will have power or water. We haven't lost it for more than 6 or 7 hours since the bad storm 12 days ago so that is a blessing.
