Eureka!

I find that I am inordinately pleased with my self when I accomplish what for others are probably simple tasks.  For the last seven years, since my husband died, I've been faced with various projects that I would not have undertaken if I still lived with a man.  One of my all time favorites was installing a new mail box.  I used power tools and everything.  It stood straight and tall for a couple of years until it got demolished by a snow plow.  Then I had the fun of installing another one.  Nice, but not as satisfying as the first time.
This evening I accomplished another first (for me).  I installed a new dvd player, attached it to the TV, connected it to the internet, and right now am enjoying watching one of my favorite series on Netflix.  Yeah me!!  And all of this probably only took six times as long as if I had asked my 12 year old grandson to do it.
