Skype

Maybe it was something I did - or did not do. Has anyone else had trouble installing this program? I had all kinds of problems ever since I did it. My son tells me he tried it too, hoping to watch his grandsons on his computer, and immediately had all kinds of trouble after installing it. I have also had lots of people telling me they had a hard time making comments ever since.

Yesterday I uninstalled it. I think there must be something I did wrong or failed to do. I'm sure thousands of others have it, and have no trouble. I will wait until my computer genius son-in-law comes to visit, and have him help me. I would certainly love to talk to Isaac and watch him as well. It works for others - why not me? I'm looking forward to reinstalling soon.

Please don't suggest I go to "Help". For as long as I have owned a computer, I have been trying "Help" with all kinds of things, and have never once found any real help (including Blogger). Usually none at all. I've given up on that one.

Happy Valentine's Day

I know - It's a little fuzzy - but heartfelt nonetheless.

Valentines like this one, and more, are available at the Monterey Bay Aquarium site. Some of them are really cute.

Shadow Shot Sunday

Tracy is once again bringing us Shadow Shot Sunday, from what is now sunny, warm Australia. We could really use a little of that warmth over here in the U.S., Tracy!

During our first blizzard of 2010, my house lost power. Since it is an all electric house, I went to visit my son, who still had electricity. At breakfast one morning I noticed this shadow on the wall across from the kitchen window.



This is the actual window over the sink and the scene outside.



And this is the scene outside the window.

On a Lighter Note

Just for fun, there's always Babelgum.

You can skip any you don't like. I enjoyed the "Dog Blog", and "Faxidents Happen". And I always enjoy the Dilbert ones.

Weary Willie

Don't even bother reading this. It's nothing but a complaint.

I am growing very weary of it now. So much has happened in the past week, and not a whole lot of it good things. I'm tired of bundling up against the cold. I'm tired of looking outside and seeing whiteness. I'm really annoyed now with the fact that I am accumulating trash and recycling in my kitchen because I can't get my back door open and can't even go out the front and around to the trash cans. I'm tired of not being able to run to a store. I can't dig out my car, and if I did, couldn't get it out of the driveway. And I'm tired of not getting or sending mail. I'm tired of my own company - and that's something that hasn't happened to me in a very long time.

And now I'm tired of kvetching.

Thank you, Christine, for a bright spot in my morning. I loved your post and picture.

After the 2nd Blizzard

Dare I say it? These are the LAST snow pictures. More snow coming on Monday, but not a blizzard. Two in one week were quite enough.

The top of the steps from my back deck.


Part of the front of my property, after the street was plowed.


On down the street.


But we did not lose electric this time around! High wind, but not so much snow as the first one.
