Ha! should have done this a long time ago!

    So did you have Windows before? If so are you now a Mac fan?

      I called and they told me they are waiting for a part. I also called the computer repair place to let them know I did not want a new screen for $250. They told me they would call me back because it had to be reassembled before I could pick it up. So far not a word from them--it has been two weeks. What is up with that, I wonder? They did not call to tell me the problem either, I had to call them. Customer service seems to be a lost art.

    Wow I would be over the moon happy with your new computer. I know your going to love it.
    I know as slow as mine has been that I will have to break down in the future and purchase one myself.
    Enjoy it.
    Love

      It was a big deal for me having just bought the Dell laptop a year ago. I usually put up with aggravation far longer than that.

    Congratulations. I would love to have a new toy like that. I think about it but so far haven't made the leap.

    I'm still a Windows PC fan, but I suspect you could set yours up yourself because Macs are just that easy, or so I've heard. Cool.

    I'm jealous. But what was the problem with the Dell? B is thinking of getting a Dell desktop -- she's comfortable with Windows and doesn't want to pay the extra money for the Apple product. What can I say to persuade her?

    You have entered the land of ease. I am envious.

    Isn't it great to have brand new things? After my last computer misadventure, I've had my son "build" me a new computer. It's entirely personalized for me!
    Peace,

      Ah, that is the trick: to know a computer genius. I do know one, but he is out of commission at the moment.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Life Goes On

There is nothing like a visit from the grand children to remind one that life goes on.  I spent Friday night at my daughter's and then brought the kids back home with me.  I did not get to see so much of them this past summer and it was a birthday gift to my daughter (who just turned 40!) to have a couple of days to herself. She probably spent them in her son's room playing Lego StarWars.  Dane tried to teach me how to play this video game--a hopeless task if ever there was one.  "Concentrate, Grandma!  You have to concentrate!"  I do have a hard time with sustained concentration lately, but in this case I had no clue what it was that needed concentration.  He finally took the controls away from me (thank-you!). It's amazing how long he can amuse himself at my house being out side on a scooter or helping me in the yard, especially if it involves a hose.  Inside, they both sit and draw or craft for hours.  Just before bed, Dane did say, "N...

Eggplant

Mike and I considered ourselves soul mates, but we definitely were not culinary mates.  Mike liked what he liked and disliked what he disliked and he never changed his mind about things like that.  He did not eat mayonnaise.  He did not eat tomato sauce.  He did not eat cooked vegetables except for corn, peas and green beans.  He did not eat onions cooked or otherwise.  He did not eat casseroles ever since they were a combination of things he didn't eat anyway. I did not like mushrooms as a kid and eggplant just made me gag, but my tastes changed,  Foods I found disgusting as a child are now among my favorites--mushrooms, eggplant, avocados, asparagus, eggs, spinach, brussel sprouts, herbs and spices. I will admit that I never developed a taste for liver (nor do I want to). I made this Moussakka a while ago and ate it every day for a week.  I froze half of it but ended up thawing it out right away. It consists of sliced eggplant layered...
