• Getting better

    I’ve not felt well the last few days, some sort of virus, but I’m on the upswing now. Yesterday I started to feel a bit better and that increased all day. I’m still struggling a bit, but over the worst. 🙂 Yesterday, late afternoon, we had a big storm hit, it rained in torrents for…

  • Lasagna and Math

    Today is Lasagna day. I’m making a bunch of it for us and another family. Yesterday I was able to get the Math-U-See package I have wanted for awhile. A very long time ago, a few years ago –that is, I got the first level of the above stated product. I haven’t used it and…

      I’ve used Math-U-See with all my kids and really like it. Now it’s my 7yod’s turn and I cannot find any of it since we moved – I had ordered the book and packed it and the blocks and videos to bring with us when we moved, but I didn’t unpack last year, and now we’ve had all our household goods delivered, and I have no idea where the box with the math is.

      I might just change over to their newer version and start all over with books, blocks, etc. My VCR isn’t working any more, either.

  • Shooting Star report

    Ooh, I just saw a really big “shooting star” low in the NW sky. (just before 6am Eastern) DH was getting set to leave to go to Knoxville for a few appointments today. It’s early, still dark, and I was awake in the family room, updating the windows software on my new laptop, so I…

      I love meteor showers too. Living where we do is very frustrating. The sky is dark enough that there are bright stars above, but so many huge fir trees cover most of the sky and cut constellations apart to make them nearly unrecognizable. I can’t see anything low in the sky, only mostly in pieces right overhead. If we move again, the thing I will be looking for is a dark and open sky. I used to see shooting stars all the time in PA.

  • Geek Update

    Well I did get a new laptop. It’s very similar to my old one, though a different “model” and different “software” but the same basic hardware. The funny thing is, at BestBuy they pulled up the info on the model I had bought that had the protection, in order to find a replacement for it…

  • Geek News

    We got the news from GeekSquad that my laptop can’t be repaired, so we need to go pick out a new one. Not such a happy bit of news for me, they don’t have many models in the store, last we saw, that are comparable to my HP that I had, a dv5000 series with…

  • The Ancestoral Two steps forward, three steps back

    My sister sent me an email recently, and I only plugged my computer (desktop of course, laptop is still MIA) in last evening, having had it off for a few days while moving things around and fixing things. The email she sent me was a link to a genealogy for a family we are supposedly…

  • Our Room

    I”ve been busy. My hubby agreed to move his “office” into the little area next to the “family room” and let me have the room his “office” was in. This is a big deal, a really big deal. His desk is long and obnoxious to a degree, but it “just fits” putting it in that…

      I still don’t have this room all setup, but most everything, plus other stuffs that need to leave, is there.

      I’ve got the armoire moved down and just need to rearrange everything inside it and on the table I have there. I had my eldest take apart the small table and put it back into the kitchen yesterday (not enough room in the “craft” room for it!)

      I’m too tired to do much of the things that need to be done lately, but I want to get scrapbooking and just can’t since it’s all a mess for now. 🙁

    Today is my youngests birthday. He’s six today! He was my only “homebirth” baby, and born very quickly on a night when the Harvest Moon shown bright (actual “full” being a tad later than his actual birth, but I won’t squabble that since it was so VERY HUGE in 2000 that night and just the…

  • Saturday Blues

    Saturday was a very bad day for me. First I went to grind some grain to get flour to make bread. My Nutrimill I had last used a few days before –just fine. This day I connected it and filled it and turned it on “as usual” and all that happened was a soft “click”…

  • Rain, rain come again!

    The rain we were supposed to be swathed with today is below us, not the ernesto stuff, other stuff that was supposed to wet a whole big band of land across the south (not far, but from west to east with north-ish GA being in the middle of it.) There are some dark clouds to…
