Just stopping by to give you a ((((hug)))). Hope things are smoothing out a bit for you.

I did not see the game this morning as I was busy doing other things that could not wait. I did not expect that we would win as you have a much better team than last time. We were quite happy it was so close until the very end.

I am using my lap top now as I am trying to clean out my desktop computer which will take a few hours if it stays up that long. I am having lots of problems with it and I need to transfer stuff over here to make sure that my laptop ia able to post Presentations.

Among all the other things that are wrong with my desktop computer I may also have a powers supply problem, which overheats and causes me to shut down.

[Cardhu]

Computers as we know them today will be obsolete.

I think I will have to get a new one soon as this one is dying. Did you guys play the video and see how they tranferred photos from the camera just by plaing it on the table - I don´t think it will do me much good and who is going to spend all that time cleaning the screen.

Yes, I sure did. It is the touch screen technology that is fascinating to me. I showed it to my husband and he was impressed too because of the type of work we do in professional photography. This could be the future as far as showing portrait sitting "proofs" to customers, laying out wedding albums, etc. We are almost at the point of retiring and selling our business, so it won't be technology we will be using, but our predecessors might.

Velveeta, you will want to read “Hugs from Heaven” in post #2515, it is beautiful.

Now there are more Angels guarding us.

It reminds me of the Hungarian folk tale of:

When you find a penny on the street, look up, as it is a sign that your Guardian Angel is watching over you.

[nw_arizona_granny]

That is beautiful.

Over the years, I have found the feeling of God often in places like this, and always outdoors.

A Blessed Sunday to all of you.

If you are into professional photography this may interest you but I think it is more useful for architects.

Ya wouldn’t catch me in that getup, no way.

[nw_arizona_granny]

I had to laugh at your California page.

Last night, I listened to San Francisco on the radio, it can be heard on the internet also at kgo.com.

They kept giving a news report:

Friday there was a big police crackdown, robbers arrested, for robbing cafes.

Saturday night there were several cafes robbed.

Unknown if it is related.

[Cardhu]

I have no doubt aboout that Darks :)

[Velveeta]

It is beautiful, Granny and made my day. :-)

Just now got to view the Folk Festival. Beautiful pictures and music.....would love to see that in person! Those women were so beautiful in those costumes.

[DollyCali]

Wow.. how festive!

love the gorgeous costumes & gorgeous people.. Looks like a wonderful festival!

thanks!

I did get up to watch the game & was wondering if you were viewing it. (you rather have a split allegiance & really could NOT lose!!!)

[grannie9]

Grannie, I use a non-stick pan and they still stick. I have thought about leaving out the sugar

Hmmm...I will no doubt be adding Splenda in mine. I wonder if that will change things? As soon as I get five mins. to rub together I'm going to try those. I don't know much about Marie Callender's stuff. I don't think it's around these parts. Is it a mix?

[Majie Purple]

Lovely,these, the graphic w/poem pairing ping!

[grannie9]

You OESY’s wife and Grannie all have talent that the rest of us could only imagine having.

Oh I don't know about that. You have an awfully pretty yard. ;)

[grannie9]

You know what birds I just love? They are so friendly and I’ve had strange ones land right on my shoulder while out in the woods. The little Chickadees. Do you have them where you are?

[Majie Purple]

Thanks Dolly,for the nice messages, the one via your greeting & especially the one conveyed via your Sunday ping.

[grannie9]

Sorry I haven't been around today, Billie, but you know how the weekends can be. I'll post this, not so great, pic I made of the horses.

I've been so busy, and I haven't had my usual allotment of playtime. ;)
