A new trick

 How long have I had this computer? I think it's been at least two years. Today for the first time I noticed that I could do typing by just talking. So here I am trying it out. It feels a little weird. Sadly it also appears that a machine can spell much better than I. Another little blow to my self-esteem! 


My mother insisted I take typing in high school. I really have to wonder what she would think of this!

    I think I have voice activation on my computer also, but i have not figured out how to do it yet. I do use if on my iPhone all the time. It doesn require a lot of correcting though.

    Well, I did it pruely by accident, but I right clicked when I put the curser in the text box and a menu dropped with the option to talk to text so I tried it. 😂

    I don't have voice activation on my computer. I guess it's something I could do with my iphone but haven't tried it yet. Sounds like fun though.

    I think I have it, just haven't tried it yet. Maybe I'll play around with it.

    That's interesting. I don't think I have that option...almost wish I did. :)

    I dictate most of my texts on my cell phone. I've seen the dictation on my laptop and never tried it. Guess you pushed me out of my comfort zone.

 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.
