After days of frustration (in December 2011) with Google’s Blogspot, I was forced to search the Internet for another venue.  I had  a lot to learn because WordPress appeared new and different–and “yours truly” is “three quarters and counting.” ~~ Two years of earlier blog information can be found at TabTeardropTravels. ~~  Now I have a brand-new laptop computer–with Windows-8–and I’m being challenged again to learn how to prepare and publish blog messages.  (In my humble opinion, Windows-8 will turn my brown hair gray!!)
