So, Friday the temp got up to a record 85 degrees!!!! Today it barely made it to 55!!! You never know WHAT the weather is going to be like down here! But there's all this sunshine...even when it's cold. :) This evening the girl next door fired up the turkey fryer and made chicken wings, we built a campfire and sat around it munching bbq wings. It's a rough life, but someone has to do it!
We gassed up the wagon and went exploring again today. Finally found the mondo shopping mall--didn't go in! Stopped at a Mexican fruit market and stocked up on fresh veggies and bananas, stopped off at Shirley and LD's place so the puppies could get out and run in their one acre fenced yard. Not a bad Sunday afternoon and evening..... :)
Tonite I called a dear friend in Indiana that we hadn't talked to in ages and spent an hour catching up! Teresa is finally, FINALLY online!!! And quilting, in her spare time! Now I'll have to go update my quilting blog, and start adding quilt links to the website.... Funny how much nearer our friends get when we can keep in touch online!
Well, I finally broke down and bought a new (reconditioned) laptop on eBay. It came Friday and I was thrilled. But then I plugged it in and booted up. Half the keyboard is sluggish--the apostrophe doesn't work at all! And the touchpad moves the curser around, but won't "drag" anything! I finally dug out my cheapy keyboard and mouse and plugged them into the new computer and THEY work great--so now I'm in negotiations with the seller. They promised 2 month hardware guarantee, etc., etc. And I think they'll come through in the end...it's just a hassle. I got spoiled by my first laptop purchase on eBay--which got me a wonderful little Dell that I have dragged all over the Country and used and abused! But I've spent the weekend hassling with this one and sending emails back and forth. I'll be really glad when it's all straightenend out and I don't have 2 laptops, an external keyboard and mouse and power and phone cords running all over our tiny livingroom!!!
That's it for today..... Gotta go check my kid's blog....:)
