* I'M BACK *

Hello Everyone!

I have my laptop again! My oldest son (the computer guru) kept it for a couple of days, and brought it back yesterday afternoon. All I can say is....What would I do without him??

Plus -- I would have lost everything had I not had my off-site backup system that he installed for me a few years ago! Whew!  

Not sure when I'll post again, or be able to read other blogs and leave comments, but I'll be back as soon as I can. Thank you to everyone who left encouraging comments!

* I wish everyone All Things Wonderful in 2014 *

    1. Thanks, Molly! I'm so glad to have it back, although a lot of things on it are different and strange. I have to re-do and re-learn some things... Ugh!
      I AM glad it's Friday, because maybe now I can attempt to keep track of what day it is! All these holidays messed me up worse than usual! :)

    1. Hi Beth! I love that quote, too. I searched for quite a while to come up with the one that said what I was looking for. And, I wish everyone had a computer guru in their family!! I have no idea who I would turn to without him.

  8. I love Ellen's quote. How right she is. Except that I find it much easier to see the cracks, the dents, the dirt than the potential.
    Welcome back.

    1. Hi Pat! Thanks, but it's not that I'm smart enough to back up my work...The company does it automatically for me! :)
      I'd probably forget!

  16. I could sure use a Computer Guru in my life right now. Had been using Mozilla Firefox as my browser, but some bozo there (disguised as a Computer Guru) fouled up my entire system on Jan. 2nd. It will cost me $ to fix what some "genius" at Mozilla just "improved". By the way... I hate I.T. guys.

    1. Hi Mevely! Oh yes, I kept thinking.....What if I've lost EVERYTHING?? But, at least I knew my memoir was safe because it's on my createspace account, plus the guy who helped me format it! Whew!! is Right!

  18. I'm so relieved that your son was able to repair your computer & you can recover your files as well. I know that scary feeling all too well & it isn't fun!

    I received your lovely book in the mail on Sat. & my 9 yr. old granddaughter helped me open it. She was tickled at the title & I had to explain to her how I had won your contest. She commented "That's goofy, Nana!" LOL She'll understand someday!
    Thank you so much for allowing me to win your memoir. I intend to curl up with a quilt by the fireplace with a cuppa tea & your book today.

    fondly,
    Rett

I'm still getting quite a few spam comments that are Anonymous, so I'm trying "User with Google Accounts." If anyone tries to comment that I know, and it won't let you, send me an email, okay? Thanks so much.
