Just a quick hiatus

So Hippie, my previous HP laptop, finally bit the dust. Not completely, but Tyler pretty much realized that it just didn’t have the power I need. Funny, a homemaker who needs a powerful computer - times have changed haven’t they?! I admit, I work my computers hard! I expect them to do what I want them to do and my expectations are typically met since I have a computer genius at home. Hippie had been to the repair department at Best Buy 3 times and with the final symptoms (spontaneously shutting down), she was put to rest (actually wiped clean and donated to our church for another to give a try). Tyler put in an order for a brand spankin’ new Dell computer for me – which I believe will be going by the name of Johnny #5. My most excellent husband so wants my computer, it is faster and newer than even his computer and he needs his to put food on the table, but alas, he is so sweet and generous he is still going to let me keep it.

SOOOO, I tell you this long story to explain why you haven’t seen many posts or pictures lately. I have been taking them, I promise, but if I download them into another computer, there is this whole other set of saving steps Tyler needs to perform, so we thought we would just wait until Johnny arrives and things can go back to normal. Unfortunately, Johnny is late! Although I am anxious, I still have the kitchen computer to satisfy my fix. We are not going to wait on Johnny any longer to download and post, so I will get to some posts in the next day or two….promise!
