We FINALLY have our own internet connection! The company was supposed to come from Lusaka two weeks ago, but they had no diesel for their truck and couldn't come. On Thursday two guys showed up at 8:30 and had the dish and everything installed by noon. We are thrilled to be back online!
That's the good news. The bad news is that the ONLY place suitable for the satellite dish is in front of the house. Yes, the satellite dish is our newest yard art. I did insist that they move it a little to the side of the house. David assures me that he will landscape around it and hide it from view. I whined for a while, but after getting to talk to our daughter Sara online that night, I decided that a satellite dish in the front yard was a small price to pay for the chance to communicate with my children!
Now we promise to post more regularly and get some pictures put on the blog.

Hoorah!!!!!!! I am so happy for you that you now have your own internet connection. Not only will it make it easier for you to keep us up to date, but it will also keep you more connected with the rest of the world.
I hate to tell you, but you had better be careful with landscaping - that satellite dish still has to have a clear view of the sky. We have found with the RV that sometimes trees will interfere with the signal. (and sometimes they don't . . . . ) An interesting conversation piece as a lawn ornament is well worth it for the instant communication it provides.
Blessings!
