We watch very little television here. We do not have cable and really only have PBS Kids on for Arthur, Curious George and the older children enjoy Wishbone or CyberChase. Occasionally we will watch Extreme Home Makeover and when Hubby was gone on travel I would watch some things here and there -- Super Nanny, The Biggest Loser (can you tell I like things that show some kind of change or transformation??). WELL, this leads me into why we are no longer watching television. The antenna cable has been run over by our tractor! It wasn't cleanly split, it was MULCHED! We just had our roof redone and the roofers dropped down the cable to work and reminded us to have the gutter guys hook it back up on the nail it was on. Well, we forgot and wish we had remembered. I really don't see this getting replaced anytime soon. Hubby could care less if we never have television. I thought it wouldn't be a problem because we still have our video/DVD player and love to rent old movies from the library and some nicer children's shows as well. HOWEVER, we had a thunderstorm yesterday morning and it must have zapped the DVD player somehow -- of course that was the only thing not hooked to the surge protector. It happened to be a rather pricey player too, because we got one specifically with the capability of being able to transfer all of our home videos over to DVDs. Doesn't that beat all? I didn't think I was wasting much time with the television, but apparently God thought otherwise. I guess I should be thankful. He could have just allowed the DVD player to stop working, but He watered the garden for us at the same time! :) |

I'm so sorry about your DVD player!! Have you tried unplugging it for awhile and then plugging it back in? It's a long shot, but worth a try.
Thank you for your sweet comments on my blog! I feel the same way - we would be able to just sit and chat and laugh! I so appreciate your comments about my writing. I'm an aspiring writer who is trying to treat my writing like a job and really DO IT! I always pray that my writing will bless others.
Take care and God bless you!!
Love, Julie
