Unexpected

I have a number of activities that keep me busy during the week, enough so that I sometimes let daily housework tasks undone. That was the case last week and I found myself on Friday morning planning to catch up. I gave the kitchen counters a good wipe down and then dragged out the vacuum and the mop.

The phone rang. It was my neighbor. She was planning to go to the rodeo in Arcadia and they found out there were extra tickets. Would I be able to go?

A day out with friends or a day spent cleaning? Hmm . . . it didn't take too long to make that decision.

(I wonder why I cannot get pictures to load? And I wonder why my new i-phone won't communicate with my mac? My old android did without a problem.  Or is this yet another new blogger glitch? I am really going off blogging lately.)

  1. So sorry about your blogging problems. I was there a while back. Have you excited from any Google+ logins or links that allow them on Blogger? I found that seemed to help after Google abandoned their social site. I have been a solitary and quiet soul these days...maybe a rodeo would buck me out of that?

  2. Well you made the right choice, except with the phone. (wink wink)
    I don't know anything about apple anything. I am not an Apple fan so I can't help you there. Please don't go to wordpress with your blog- I can not get into that to save my life. It allows me one time and then I have to change my password each and every time and make a new file. I no longer read those from wordpress. The above person mentioned removing your links from your google+ file since they closed that down. Others said that helped them with items ranging from the minute to the major. Also try blogger forum for help. It has helped me a good many times. I leave a question and several answer and give suggestions that have always worked for me.
    Best of luck!

  3. Well, I know what my decision would have been...and it wouldn't be staying at home. :)

    Sorry to hear about the issues with blogger. I'm like the previous person, I know nothing about Apple products. Hope you find a resolution.

  4. Hi Olga, Make sure that you go into settings on your phone and on your Mac to enable photostream. I do NOT upload to the Cloud automatically because I don't want to pay for Apple storage. However, I have certain things in settings linked among the phone, iPad, and Mac so they will appear seamlessly on all 3. Blogger Forums are great , and if you have an Apple store near you, make an appointment at the Genius Bar - they'll help with any problems.

  5. I think the giddy-up and get out was a good choice.
    I have issues with my iPhone photos and my PB. sometimes they auto download and sometimes they don't. I just checked and photos I took a week ago have now downloaded finally. weird. and then there is that sideways photos think that blogger does.

  6. Hope you went to the rodeo. Arcadia is a neat little Fla town. Don't know anything about Apple and hope you find a solution. We don't need you leaving Blogger.

  7. I can't imagine any of us would choose cleaning house over an outing with a friend. If I get a call to meet a friend for coffee, I'm there...
    As for the Apple issue - we have iPhones, but Dell laptops. However, the guys at the Apple Store are very helpful.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
