What a day or I
should say week it has been! Sure been busier than I like.
Last
week was getting the farm truck inspected and licensed. They closed
the office we are used to going to. Found we like the new place even
better.
Max
also had to renew his driver’s license.
Then
this week, the 31st was our Mama cat’s surgery . Went
smooth as silk; she never fussed at all! I was very proud of her.
She is doing well. She is even letting those 3-month old babies
nurse. I figure if it hurts her, she will stop them.
The big news was my computer died! It was too old for the Geek Squad to fix. I did have enough sense to ask them to remove my hard drive. So now my son can retrieve anything lost for me. I may have mentioned he is a computer/electrical engineer…..and extremely conservative (tight!) so I had him pick me out a tower at Amazon and he picked a refurbished one for $204 and another one that I had picked out for $349. He laughed at me when I asked if the refurbished worried him and told me he would buy if from me if I wasn’t happy with it.
I took
a chance and with my points got the thing for $104!
It came
today (with Windows 10) so there is a learning curve. I do have it
up and have downloaded my FTM software and Quicken and have
successfully backed up those files! I feel like I can finally
breathe. It seems much faster to me than the older computer with
Windows 7.
Carpenter
hasn’t showed all week but will be here tomorrow to work on my
offfice. Slowly things will start smoothing out, please.
I know
these are not serious things but we live such a humdrum life that
these little upsets are just that upsets.
Cooking
I will
just say that the sourdough project is not going well. I now have a
new flour and water batch going and one using milk, flour and sugar.
Kris, I couldn’t find a step by step on your blog when you first
began yours.
I hope
I don’t get aggravated and just give up……………..

This shows the wider windowsill I asked for....like it very much. I have one coat of paint on and need to do more.
