computer works

We got the desktop back yesterday, and today the technican came to the house to set up an external hardrive backup system for us.  Everything now appears to be working for both computers.  I was trying to set up the laptop  Friday evening and yesterday morning and ended up having a bit of a meltdown, so we had taken it back to the shop yesterday.  They downloaded all of my files and got my e-mail sorted out.  So it has taken over a week, and an awful lot of money to get us up and running again.

Tonight will be the first evening we have had in awhile, where we can indulge our addictions to poker and trashy tv.  Intermittent rain today.  A bit of  a blessing.  With the birdbath full, we are seeing more birds in the yard, and even the grey squirrels have returned.  We got out on our bicycles yesterday for the first time in almost three weeks.  Tomorrow, I am going to see my friend Carolyn for coffee.  She has been in the city for a few days teaching test groups for five new classes she is preparing for the Embroidery cruise she and her husband are going on later this year.  (Sigh)

Hven't seen either of the children or any of the grandchildren sor awhile, but have been in touch with Amber.  This weekend, she and Darren were hosting a big social event for one of the groups he belongs to.  They supply the house and yard and everyone else does the work and looks after the food.  I guess they are popular people with a yard complete with trampoline, hot tub, and pool.  Too bad it also comes with "doggy-dew".

I guess that I'm glad to get the computers back, but it's too bad we had to spend so much money on it.
