computers and sewing machines

My computer is trying to update Windows 10, and having no end of problems.  Finally, yesterday, I got fed up and took it into the Geek Squad.  He fussed with it for a few minutes,and then said there you are, take it home, hook it to the internet, and it should be okay.
Nope, it wasn't okay.  So I played with it some more, and then tried again this morning.  No luck.

While we were out, I took my reliquary, "Frivolous Intent", into the MB Crafts Council, as an entry into their Members Show opening on Jan. 27.  There is an official opening reception Feb 2 ( First Friday), and knowing that David isn't interested in that sort of thing, I invited my friend Gail.  It will be interesting to see how it measures up to other items in the show.  I took a look around the gift shop, when I was there for a meeting a couple of weeks ago, and I think my stuff should measure up quite well.  Not that I expect anything to sell-(snort).

Friday, with both of us feeling better, and beautiful weather, we followed up on the aborted plans for our wedding anniversary.  We had saved money and coupons, and went out to South Beach Casino, north of the city.  The money lasted for several hours, and we enjoyed a lunch buffet, thanks to a coupon.  But knowing that with the warm weather and rain ( yes, rain), things could get dicey as it cooled down after sundown, we headed home early, and went to Club Regent for the seafood buffet, for supper.  David thoroughly enjoyed some wonderful shrimp, as I knew he would. I indulged myself with a small piece of White Chocolate, Cranberry truffle Cake. Oh My! It was a wonderful day.  

As mentioned before, with the big sewing machine gone, I'm spending time with some intricate piecing.  I have two strips done, but looking at them this morning, I can see that some adjustments are needed.  I'll probably blog on that elsewhere.
