Wall Street

Every year, getting Internet service on the farm is a problem. In the past, of course, I had dial-up. Then I had a prepaid plug in. This year, because family members were going to come up to the farm, I broke down and contracted to have wireless service. I named my Wi-Fi service Wall Street. When we plant corn on both sides of the drive, it's like driving between two green walls. It's also where we make money. That's why Dad called it Wall Street. It's an expense, but it was such a pleasure to have good wireless service on the farm.  At least my direct TV satellite service and my wireless service allow me to pay for only 6 months of the year because I don't live on the farm in the winter. That justifies the expense of my television and computer service.  I have extensive information on my family history including letters and journals and photographs. I am working on compiling them on a family tree program. I also spent some time in the farmhouse photographing furniture, china, etc. My mother had a ledger which noted whether they came from her family or my father's family or if she bought them. I am trying to compare the photos to her notes. So, as you can see, when I'm not working in the yard,  house or barn, I have plenty of computer work to do.
