Back to "normal"

My super-slow USB internet thingy stopped working the other day.  I tried different USB ports, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, and removing it in the Device Manager.  After a few other things, I gave up and Papi drove me to the city.  The young guy at the office said he didn't know a thing about computers so he called a guy from a store a block or two away.  When he came I started the whole story about what I had done, to save myself from doing it all over again. He calmly listened, then when I finished, took my modem, opened it, took out the chip, replaced it, and plugged it back in.  It worked.  Well dang, I love simple solutions but I hate it when someone else comes up with them!
 
So that was the reason for the lack of posts recently, but we are all good and I have more pictures! :-)
 
Sofi is learning to do laundry.  She wouldn't stop begging so we got her a rock to do it just like they did at the river side "in the (not so) old days."  And of course, what she does, her little cousin must do as well.
 

And yes, we are wearing shorts and getting wet still.  It is getting "cooler," as in, last night was the first night we slept without the fan on.  This weekend has a forecast of low of 72F and high of 91F.  And yes, they are wearing sweaters and hats when it hits the 60's and saying that Sofi is going to get sick because she doesn't have a jacket on.  Sigh.  It's hard to explain what "cold" and "snow" and "icy mornings" are to people who have never seen it! :-)
