No, I hadn’t been drinking. Well, I confess to a couple of cups of coffee. This old lady was crawling around, under the table, pulling weeds. Earlier, I whacked weeds with the $10.00 tool purchased from CARE’s Thrift ‘n Gift shop. Also: Swept the sidewalk, and hosed the sidewalk and patio.

My reward: Pretty bloom on the Butterfly Bush.

Perhaps I’m making some progress??

The website is “under construction”  but I’m encouraged to see the data in a shareable format.

My scalp is raw; I’ve been involuntarily compulsively scratching as I attempt to resolve my perceived  project problems.

A simple reminder: The “dream catcher” given to me by a friend (several years ago).

That object prompts me to pursue the dream of offering some of my compiled (scanned) family history to another researcher. Robert Schuller often said “Inch by inch it’s a cinch.”  I’ll keep inching along!!

Almost all morning spent working on my tiny piece of rented real estate. By keeping my hands busy, I wasn’t scratching my scalp.

So few CARE residents are doing anything with their yard. I couldn’t give away planters, “pebbles for [bottom of] planters,” fencing, etc. One lady (in adjacent RV Park) will received these planters because she prepares clippings, and seedlings, and donates to our Thrift ‘n Gift shop.

When I prepared the Frantz Families–Kith & Kin website, I did not have that black box on the left side of the screen. (Simpler instructions, I’m sure.) For a guru, those black box instructions may be easy to navigate. For some mysterious reason, I cannot perform their dictated maneuvers on my “under construction” new website!! I suspect the “electronic age” is miles ahead of me. (As I indicated recently, I’m happy with Windows 7 and a “dumb” Jitterbug flip phone.) Even **this** blog site creation process has changed since I started it in December 2011. Gratefully, I’m still able to work with instructions I comprehend. I’m (likewise) experiencing  “construction” problems **there** because I “thought” I’d be working with commands I understand. (I hoped changing to another provider would simplify the process!!)

Salvaging my sanity!!

My “yarden”: My anti-depressant.

Pulled weeds; filled bird feeders.

My eyes are popping out of their sockets. I’ve done Internet searches; I’ve read so many articles!! I’m trying to learn how to move the scanned documents to the website; I’m aiming at a target. I’m not planning to do any more scanning until I have an answer. (Oops, too many perpendicular pronouns!!)

Counting my blessings!! Compared to another RVer, my problems are small.

I had one major accident in 2003 but, otherwise, traveled safely for decades. I apologize if my earlier message(s) sounded like I was complaining. I’m grateful my problems are considerably smaller!!

Preliminary inspection: Destroyed tire the only damage.
