My in laws are finally home from their 2 month long vacation. Left the house, left the dog, left their car to be with family. We took the liberty of going to the house everyday to feed the dog, and to make sure he’s ok. No, we didn’t just dump a whole bunch of food outside for him for the whole week. Nope, we didn’t. We went in, wash the porch while he’s having his meal, rinse his bowl and refilled his water..every single time.

But, that little activity is now over for us because they are home. The only problem is — they have no connection to the outside world what so ever. Their car battery won’t start, phone lines gone wonky, no internet connection, the Astro is also out. It’s like living in the primitive world only to be surrounded by modernity. You feel so isolated from the world without connection. Don’t you think?

Anyway, I hope the phone company’ll come soon to get the lines repaired. We’ve been calling them, going to the office personally to lodge a complaint — personally. Yet, it’s been several days now and nothing has been done. Are we experiencing bad service or what? Once the phone lines gets repaired, I will get hubby to buy the business phone systems. Something more reliable for the old folks.
