John and I spent the weekend smack in the middle of Pennsylvania. We went up for Molly’s graduation from Penn State and we had almost ZERO cell service the whole time. It was really annoying. Should we have expected it? I’m not sure. On the one hand, we were in the middle of nowhere. Maybe it’s reasonable to expect limited service. On the other hand, we were on Penn State’s ENORMOUS campus. They have LOTS of students – how could they not have LOTS of cell towers? Back to the first hand, though, we were there with thousands upon thousands of students AND their families. Maybe we just couldn’t get our share of the network. It sure seemed like everyone else could. As we left town (later than either of us wanted) Sunday afternoon, all of the texts and emails we’d missed all weekend came pouring in. We felt so out of touch.
On the plus side, it was a beautiful weekend to find ourselves out in the middle of nowhere. Lots trees, blue sky, mountains. It was pretty. I like pretty. Also, I got to wear two of my favorite dresses, so I felt pretty, too.
