New Toy
October 21st, 2009The bad news is that my computer didn’t seem to like being struck by lightning. It actually didn’t die all at once but slowly one by one things started going out. I had to replace my wireless router and my ISP had to replace the modem. Then just little things kept going wrong. Then the last straw was when the monitor died. Finally decided a new computer was going to have to be bought because that might be cheaper than replacing things bit by bit and still not having anything new to show for the money.
Well, I’ve made a huge change. I got a Mac! It’s wonderful though and I don’t know why I didn’t make the switch before. It’s screaming fast and there is no waiting for anything to load. When I click on a program to start… there it is. Everything is simple to work and so automatic that I don’t think I ever had to actually set anything up. Even email sets up with a couple of clicks.
I know it’s been forever since I posted anything but I’ve been very busy with Nile things. Lot’s of preparations being made for next year when I’m Queen. I think we will have a wonderful year next year. I have been appointing my officers and I know I have a wonderful group of women to help me.
We are planning a short trip up to Maryland the first week of November. I really need a squeeze from my two grandsons there. I need to ask them what they want Santa to bring them too. 
Welcome to the World Kenzie
June 25th, 2009I want to welcome my newest grandchild Kenzie Ashlyn to the world. She was born at 3:25 pm today. She weighs 8 lbs, 11 oz and is 20.8 inches long. She is my number 8 grandchild and I can’t wait to meet her in person. If all goes well that will be the week of July 13. I’m soooo happy! 
Well – Best Laid Plans…
June 17th, 2009I had intended to blog each day of our trip but the days were so filled with activity that there was no time. I will try and put a small run through of the rest of our trip here. I hope you won’t mind reading a post that is a bit longer as it contains 5 very full days. Also, the pictures aren’t ready yet but I will get some uploaded to share. Read the rest of this entry »

June 7th, 2009Our third day here in Canada was another great and fun day. Today Shannon and I went on the Credit Valley Luncheon Train and it was a lot of fun. One little glitch… we were told this train would be leaving early so we needed to be across the street in front of the convention center by 8:15 AM for boarding the bus. It is about a 2 hour ride over to Credit Valley so we needed a very early start. The train was to begin boarding at about 10:45. We intended to leave a little early in case of bad weather or road construction and that worked out real well until we got there and the train wasn’t there, the door to the station was closed and we didn’t see anyone around. Oops, long drive for nothing Well it turns out they changed the time of the train until an hour later and failed to let us know. Read the rest of this entry »

June 6th, 2009Another gorgeous day in London Ontario! The weather here is so beautiful. It is warm but not hot or humid in the day and nice and cool in the evenings. According to some of the local people, they have had a colder than usual spring so what they are having now is more like the middle of spring rather than moving on towards summer. It is perfect.
