SURPRISE!!


Boy was I surprised when I sat down at the computer and it was working!! I don't know how long this is going to last but, here goes.

I had a computer expert come over to my condo to check out my laptop and see what the trouble was. He found that my interface got damaged. Florida is notorious for brown- outs and might have caused the problem.

He suggested I go to Comcast and try a different modem. Another suggestion was to "go wireless." Since my computer is four years old it could be difficult to get the necessary parts. He's going to try and see if eBay has what I need.

As far as what's doing in Florida:

More people
More traffic
New restaurants
Some old favorites gone
My very favorite clothing store - gone
Weather - beautiful
At a meeting last night - I won $10.00!!

Now, I'm holding my breath, let's see if this gets posted.

I hope I get pleasantly surprised!!! ;-)

It got posted! I always hate to see favorite restaurants close. If it's because the owners retired, that's OK. But I hate when they don't have enough business.

What a pleasant surprise to see you enjoying a beach day ;-)

Computers and internet and interfaces are all greek to me. I just want to point and click and have things happen. Why can't it always work like that?

Aniother surprise, my computer is working tonight.

Thanks for all all your comments.

Boo - i must tell you that picture of me on the beach was taken when I was in my twenties. The only time I go to the beach now is when I have company. It's much easier to go to the pool, you can always go in the water.

At the beach there are either rip tides or man'o wars.

It's never to late to wish all my blogging buddies a very happy and healthy New Year. We had a bottle of champagne at the ready New Years Eve but guess what, none of us could OPEN the bottle!

Hey, it did get posted. Oh Millie, I have missed you. Good to have you back. It looks like you've been pretty busy.
If your computer is four years old, it might be time to get thoroughly modern ;) and get a new one, with wi-fi!
Keep them coming, Millie.
By the way, blogger comments are now fixed. And I like this too.

Millie, that's a wonderful pic of you in the sand! I know you will miss your favorite store, but maybe you'll find another one you like even better.

Woo Hoo! It posted!

I love the glamor shot of you too. Was that taken in Florida?

Kenju and Peggy

That photo of me was taken about 50 years ago at a beach on Cape Cod.

If I laid on the sand like that today, I'd never be able to get up!!

Those days are gone forever. Now I need a chair with arms to help me get up out of them. ;-).

Hey Millie glad you are back and posting. I hate when things go wrong with my computer.

So Florida is changing? Nothing stays the same, but I always hate losing favorite stores and restaurants.

Congratulations on having your computer up and running again. I love seeing your black and white photos! They remind me of pictures I have of my Mom and her family. Thanks for sharing.

PEACE!
