A sneak peek of the new kitchen color scheme - the cabinet on the end is one new one that we added...
Well, DH's new computer arrived! It is at the shop right now. They are going to load all of DH's files on it. We will pick it up and test it out. If everything is on there and is okay, we will then take his existing laptop to them, and they will load all of my files on it.
It's slow going, but I think there is finally light at the end of the tunnel! I may possibly be back in business by this time next week. Could it be?
Now, to fill you in, here is what has happened since my computer's mama-board crashed:
- DH tore his knee in a couple of places, and has to have surgery tomorrow. (If you recall, April 2nd was the date of the Casting Crowns concert that DD gave me for my birthday! So, instead of DD and I going, DD is now taking a friend and his two daughters, so the tickets will be used!)
- The car is in the shop - the alternator is shot, as well as some belt - something like serpentine? The power steering was affected by one of those things, and due to the alternator issues, the battery 'overcharged' and there is battery acid all over the engine. Long story short - here goes $700! I'm going to pick it up in an hour or so, as we need it for the surgery appt. tomorrow!
- The truck has to go in for not one, but two recall notices, so I will drive it down when I go for the car today (36 mile round trip) and leave it until Monday.
- DH returned last Sunday night from his trip to Florida to meet up with DS for spring training. Upon DH's return, the airline lost his luggage. Of course, HIS computer cables were in his bag, so we were totally without computer for 24 hours. AA did deliver the bag to our doorstep a day later, so all is well.
- As DH had tons of dirty ball-park style laundry, our clothes dryer decided to die. We are waiting on rollers to get here for it so that I can do some laundry!
With everything going on, I don't know if I will be lucky enough to get back on line this weekend or not. Thanks for your patience, and I promise to make it up to all of you when I do! I am perusing your blogs, and looking at your gorgeous creations each day, I just can't comment. For whatever reason, each comment takes 30-50 minutes to think and post!
Dawn Lotharius and I share a birthday! So, if you have a chance on Saturday, drop by Dawn's blog and wish her a happy birthday! Dawn, if you happen to be reading, thank you so much for my beautiful card! I hope that you received yours as well!!!
If I don't see you, have a nice Good Friday, and a safe and blessed Easter!
Hugs to all...Patti J.
