Thunderstorms

Woke up last night at 12:30 AM to the sound of thunder. Grabbed my robe and went out on the porch. Quite heavy rain, awesome lightning and, of course, deep rumbles of thunder. Couldn't stay out there as long as I would have liked as the wind was blowing the rain under the porch roof a little too often.

Yesterday, I had to take a 1/2 day off work and meet the cable guy. I had them install a VOIP (or voice over I/P) modem, so now my phone works over the Internet instead of land lines. We'll see how it works, but it does save me $30.00 a month, and I still have all the same features, minus that annoying call waiting, LOL! Price includes unlimited calls to US, Canada, Virgin Islands and Guam. So, to all my friends in Guam (or elsewhere) give me a call and I'll call you back. We can talk for hours for free!

Since I was home all afternoon, I made a stuffed pork tenderloin (I had bought it on sale and cut it in half - 2 pounds each. Froze one half and needed to make something with this half.) Stuffed it with Italian sausage, apples, shallots and toasted walnuts again. Made oven roasted potatoes as the side dish. Very tasty!

Carla had popped in after grocery shopping to wait for Jake to get off work, so we hung out for a while. We watched a little Judge Judy and the Cosby show, just like the old days.

All in all, cheaper new phone service, good company, great dinner and topped off with a thunderstorm, it was a most excellent day!
