Computer Woes ~

Now doesn't my little GD look about five or six instead of two years old??
Goodness...she is such a sweetheart!

I wanted to apologize for not making it to very many blogs lately. My poor computer seems to be running slower all the time especially when we get rain. {and we have been deluged lately} As most of you already know I live out in the boonies and we are on dial up. I think satellite may be available here finally , but it cost an arm and a leg and right now we don't have any extra limbs to spare. lol

It is very frustrating that my kids get their super high speed cheaper than we get our dial-up. Okay enough complaining for one day. I do want so bad to go to all your blogs and leave comments, but so many of them just take forever to come up or don't come up at all before I get frustrated and just quit. I went to pay a bill online yesterday and the little thing at the top just kept spinning and spinning and spinning. Finally I got up and yelled to the naughty computer, "OKAY FINE I will send it in the mail".{ Hee Hee} I hope no one was outside listening to this crazy lady.
I promise you I will get to as many as I can when this thing is working better!
I am always there in spirit.
Blessings~

Some Days You Just Wonder...

Have you had days like that lately? Things seem to go wrong from the get go and no matter how hard you try they keep getting worse. Seems that has been a lot of our days lately. The latest is some serious computer issues and yesterday it was the end. We finally gave up and had to reformat the thing! (my new best friend is the 8 gb flash drive in the photo above...thank God for these little devices that can hold so much stuff!) So now I am slowlyyy putting files back and it will probably take me a good week to do that as I won't spend every waking moment sitting at this beast. We are back to "bare bones" right now...email and a couple other things. Trying to update also and on dial up it takes a longgggggg time! But I am thankful for how well it is working so far today. I have no clue what my blog will look like because this typing appears to be a different font to me and my signature at the bottom of the post is shaded gray to me...so I hope it doesn't show on your end. As we get things updated I think things will smooth out so I am trying to be patient. I have not had the time to put all my photos back on yet, so bear with me please. It may be a couple days before I actually get some on here. LOL
We did have a lovely time yesterday attending an Easter Egg hunt with little 2 year old granddaughter Annika. It was her first one and she was just adorable! She had a large basket and had so many eggs that her basket was full and her hood on her jacket was full and she put some in her pockets. Too cute! She did very well! In two of the eggs were numbers (the rest all had candy in them) and she won a $20 Walmart gift card and an adorable golden retriever movie. What a haul! She is a tremendous joy in our lives right now. Have a blessed Sunday!

I May be AWOL for Awhile ~

Happy Thursday everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I will be AWOL for a short while. Our computer will not dial up so I think we need to get a new modem. Hopefully I will be back on line in a short while. In the meantime, blessings to all of you!
