    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 ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
