Spring is Officially here
Wow a long time since I felt like writing something in here.
I see my greetings are viable once again
so it has to be a year ago that I put that in.What a winter we had this time! Mild and breaking records for being the warmest one ever, and it had to come when the Vancouver area really wanted the snow!
We were the hosts for the winter Olympics, and it was uite something to hear how they had to create and bring in snow for this event. An awesome one as it turned out. Guess people are still celebrating and partying in Vancouver – of course right after it we hosted the Paralympics too, and from the bit I have heard it went off very well indeed with one of the largest attendences ever as well. Good to hear that people turned out for this as much as they did as I think the contestants are heros.Most of my time is taken playing in FaceBook. How did I get myself into so many of the activities and games in there? Not to say I am complaining, just the opposite – I love them!
My biggest one is Zoo world. I ask myself what is the fascination and why am I so addicted to it? No answer at all. It took me months to complete their levels and I cannot stop, keep hoping there will be something new that will come for those of us that have reached that point. But there still are many things to challenge myself with as it continues to expand and add new goodies, almost on a daily basis. My family laugh at me when I visit and for a while that visit would be timed to when I needed to get home again to feed a new baby animal and get them tucked safely into the zoo before it got ill and went to hospital. Crazy! Now they have put in awards for others to feed for us – an ifffy place at that, but seems to be working for the most part. We both get awarded in the long run for this as long as some of the connected zoo players are on line when they are posted and see the post.My poor Desk top computer cannot handle all the new graphics and things that are now being displayed and coming through the computer. Even mail was starting to have a hard time, so after a lot of procrastination and frustration I talked to Elmer and this Feb I went out and bought myself a new computer – not sure if I am really happy with it yet. I loved the Windows XP, for me it has such a solid feel and so easy to work with, but the latest Windows 7 is very different in many of the things I do, and I have had quuite a time trying to find the different ways to get to where I want and do the things I did. Still have not transferred everything over, and even the bit I did was a frustrating experience. It crashed twice on me already, which makes me hesitate in putting in more of the programs I have that I work with. I wonder if my old PSP will function in the new environment or will I have to buy the newst version? My favorite one was #7 and now they are way past that, but it is a program I was constantly in with my photos, and I miss working with it. While I still am not taking that many, I want to get it going again. Did take a couple though of the Hyacinths in my garden

Good to see a post from you. I’m thinking of getting windows 7 and a new computer. Heard it is really good and more like a MAC so it doesn’t crash so much. Now I hear from you so will have to check into it. I do facebook too but only one game.
Hi there! Sounds as though you had a very nice winter. We had an awful one. Ice storms and lost electricity for days and feet of snow. I hope we never have another like it! I am so ready for spring! I can’t wait to get into the gardens. I really need a new computer. Just can’t see spending the money right now for it since this one is getting me by.
Hi Francis: Nice to see you surface and doing well. I had some problems when I converted to Windows 7 but once they got ironed out it works really well. Photoshop 7 and CS2 both work well on win 7. I understand the 64bit system is a bit of a problem because 32 bit programs don’t work well but there seems to be a fix for most of them. Hope you have a good summer and take lots of pics.
Hi there…OMG!…I can’t remember the last time I was here…been so busy with errrr…work…no…mostly facebook and blogger…have about half a dozen blogs there.
I will have to go back now and add to this. I have bookmarked this sirte so I won’t lose it again xxxxxx
