I cannot believe how fast this last week has flown!! Elmer reminded me it is Friday already! where has it gone to? So I stopped to think, what have I been up to?
With it raining almost non stop now – going towards a record of over 28 days, which was last recorded in 1956, it is already 26 days today and still going strong with no end in sight for the next week, I tend to stay indoors and emerse myself in my own world, trying to catch up with everything I have involved myself with online. Still have not caught up
Meanwhile, Elmer had run into problems with his computer – it simply ran out of space and would no longer function properly. For a year I have been telling him it was time to check into another, but stubborn! he said his was working just fine, so why change a good thing even if his was 6yrs old or more! We get up one morning this week (don’t ask me which day
) and announced it was time he indulged himself in a new one! So off we went to look at what was on the market, and if any were on sale. Found a deal at Staples – HP with one of those neat flat digital monitors, and a printer (we already have too many of those but it came in the package) all kinds of goodies loaded, for uner $1,000.00 right within our price range, so we picked it up. Now for the last few days we have been working together to try and get all the things he uses onto it and get it into a working machine the way he likes it. Where did we put those disks for this particular program? Oh here it is, now where is the next one? I guess you get the picture 
Resigning all those registrations, looking for all the info needed for this, trying to find all the old favorites, which are all the sights I belong too? Can you remember my passwords in this one? The joys? of changing onto another computer is never one to look forward to, but the effort is well worth it in the end.
Meanwhile, in-between working with him, I have now put more of my vacation pics into an album. This is a long one. I have lumped the majority of what we did for that last week there into this one, as there was not that many of each activity, except our visit to the Aquarium which is the next album.

I hope that I can just purchase a tower……the guts of the puter….instead of a whole package. I don’t need anything else. I’m going to have to do something soon but just can’t right now. Hope you guys make it with all your rain. Sure do wish you could send it to us in the lower mid-west and south-west. We are literally burning up.
