FadsAfter a long day of moving files around on a new computer, I needed a break and decided to share some of my observations. The frustration of filling a new folder with articles, then getting too close to the edge and having the whole file fall out of the computer into outer space may have affected my disposition.

We sat outside with our dinner guests, my son and his wife, while we visited and nibbled on crackers and cheese. It had cooled enough indoors by dinner time to eat in the dining room. We are always delighted to have them bring Handsome, their big dog. Before we lived where we are now, we… click here to continue October, 03rd, 2004 |
