Remember me? .........

It's been so long since I've posted, you've probably forgotten all about me. Well, I'm still around and I'm doing fine. I've just been busy with all sorts of projects. When I haven't been busy, I've been lazy. My old computer was giving me all sorts of problems and it discouraged me from trying to post. After much thought and research, I ordered a new HP Touchmart 610. It came Tuesday, so I've been transferring files and getting everything set up on it. I love the sharp, bright picture on the 23" screen and the Beats Audio is awesome. The only thing that I'm finding a problem is the touch screen. When Maggie gets on the computer desk her tail tends to rub against the screen and she creates, moves, and deletes all sorts of things.




Spring arrived early this year. I've gotten my garden planted - tomatoes, green peppers, lettuce, radishes, watermelon, cantaloupe, onions, cucumbers, zuchinni squash, and yellow crookneck squash. We got several loads of manure from the farm next door and worked it in the soil earlier, so I hope the garden does well. It's already gotten very dry here and I'm having to water every night. I've also planted bunches of flowers but still have more to do.

We had the inside of the house painted in February, so I had quite a mess for awhile. It looks great and I'm glad to have it done. The guy who did the painting is a perfectionist. He was slow, but everything was perfect when he finished. We just finished having trees cut. I will post about that soon. Now, I'm going to read blogs and comment since I have a computer that doesn't freeze on me.

So glad to hear that all is well; you were missed. It's warm here as well. Your back yard looks lovely. Enjoy your new computer.

Congratulations on the new computer. It makes all the difference in the world. It does look like you've been busy. Glad to see you posting again.

Glad you found a new toy, and it is 23" (mine is 21"), I can understand how frustrating when the PC begins so slow and seems forever waiting for it to process something.

Congrats on a new computer. That can be a blessing or a bunch of frustration as you learn the new program and do all that transferring. Soon it will be like an old friend.
Glad you are again back in the mix.

Wow -- I'm jealous about your getting your garden in early! The shopping /planting will have to wait until we get back. I've got my plans, though, to work on on the plane. That should keep me busy for a bit.

Funny about Maggie's tail. Jezelbelle used to walk across my keyboard. If I ignored her, she'd lay down on it and then bite me! I miss her.

Your posts sounds a lot like my last few months. I never considered the unexpected unintentional aspect of touch screens. I have an 18" laptop with a few problems but one is heat and I just have keep plenty of air circulation around the wireless adaptor or I am off the wireless 'Net. Also the button is too easy to brush by my hand and it is then off; same for number lock

Yay! I am so glad to hear from you. And happy you're doing well. New computers are the ultimate in wonderful and frustration. Enjoy it!
