All morning, I have been nursing a sick computer. Last time I took my laptop for repair it cost over $200.00. I don’t have extra dollars… so spent hours running various Microsoft programs conveniently installed on my computer. Hopefully, I corrected the malady?! Hopefully….

Frankly, it makes this little old lady “sick” when something happens to the computer. I spend so much time with it!!

Postscript, 9:50 PM: “More time than money” is an expression I identify with. “Exercise in futility” explains my day!! Hours and hours… and the problems are not resolved!! (It took hours to get to this message and add this short paragraph!! Seriously!!)

Postscript, Thursday, Feb. 5, 2015, 11 o’clock: It has been five hours of struggle and frustration!! Yes, I sat down to the computer at six o’clock this morning. 

Burr, it’s cold outdoors!! Furthermore, I’m cold indoors!! ~~  “Tommy” (tomato plant) and Cape Honeysuckle are back in the living room of my trailer home. I’ll cover some outside plants and hope that will be sufficient.

Ground hog’s Day; Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow so six more weeks of Winter.

Postscript, Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2015, 9 o’clock: The outside temperature just inched from 39 to 40 degrees. I can’t seem to get warm inside my trailer home. Burr!! ~~ I see (through the windows) that bird feeders are empty. I’m reluctant to go out and fill feeders.

Postscript, Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2015, 9 o’clock, forty-four degrees outdoors. Note: Outside inside. Look, the Cape Honeysuckle has a new bloom.  Plants are thriving indoors?!

Our club members gathered for a picture after the dance Saturday night. The callers are on the stage behind us. According to an email message–with this picture–the event was a success.
