WEEKEND IN CHICAGO

I spent this last weekend in Chicago. Generally speaking I had a great time! However, there was a couple of "disappointments," First, (I could list 3 or 4 excuses) I recieved a parking ticket! I could list the excuses but it all boils down to the fact I wasn't as observant as I should have been! Cindi sent in a letter 'contesting' the legality of the ticket, but We'll see- it might be a good thing having a Para Legal daughter or I may still get to "contribute to mayor Dailey's campaine fund", Second, I didn't see Sarah and Lyric, thus I don't have any new "Lyric storys" to relay on to everyone!
On the PLUS side: I had some FANTASTIC meals, and enjoyed the company (including Mike and Cindi of course) Melody, Leigh, Lisa, and her Brand New Husband Kieth.
I spent a little time helping Mike put a puzzle together (I probably put 5 to 10 pieces in) but by the time I left Mike had it pretty well completed. ( along with help from Melody ) Cindi became the official Photographic 'progress recorder' I don't know if she "didn't want to 'show us up' or if she was afraid we'd 'show her up"! :)

In my last post I missed a March birthday - my sisters granddaughter Megan, turned 16 on March 12th, AND has a brand new Driver's license! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, Megan and drive carefull!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! ! !

March seems to be "birthday month". Today my father would have celebrated his 108th birthday. Tommarrow Kelly Potter turns another year older - Happy Birthday Kelly! And "if the good lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise" I'll be going to Chicago this week-end to celebrate Cindi's birthday a little early. Her birthday is the 17th and one week later Mike will be celebrating his birthday. It makes me feel really old when I state that dad would have been 108!
Linda informed me, She has the girl scout cookies I ordered from her granddaughter. I'll be stuffed for a while (just what I need :) )
There's not much else noteworthy going on around here. Just rain and chilly temps.

I GOT IT ! ! !

I finally got this thing figured out! I have to admit it wasn't the computer - it was the printer that was giving me fits. When I figured out what i wasn't doing with it - it started spitting out pictures and copys unbelieveably - everything I had tryed to print was in the memory and it began printing EVERY ATTEMPT I had made. Thus, I have several prints of several pictures. But I'm relieved it IS working! I was getting totally disgusted with the whole works.

STILL FIGHTING THIS COMPUTER! ! !

I had Caleb over sunday to help me with this "thing" . I couldn't get it 'connected' to the printer. He came over and installed a new 'driver' and I printed out some beautiful pictures. We then went to "Fat Annie's" for supper and I took him home. I returned home confident I had it all figured out - wrong - I can't get this creature to print anything! I'm doing everything he told me ( I took notes!) but I'm not having any luck. It's almost like it knows when he's here and as soon as he leaves. "It's time to mess with Charlie's mind again"
