My Computer Died

Somehow it seems appropriate. I decide to join the world of bloggers and my computer contracts a worm and dies. I can still play my games at this point, but the internet connection is gone. I never really did very much on my computer, but now that I really care -- it's gone. I called HP to try and get a reboot disc and was told it's so old they not only don't make them anymore, they don't have any available in their old stock. Dad has kindly given me his computer to use. I pray it isn't infected also.
So anyway, I'm madly trying to save any files I can and I just printed out what journal entries I have made over the years. I will sort through them and share any that I feel might be of interest. So now, a moment of silence for my poor old laptop...
That done, I now need you girls to help me out. I need some new ideas for dinners. Dad is tired of the same old thing over and over, so if you have any recipies you'd like to share to help me out it would be very appreciated. Thanks ladies, I love you. MOM

Keeping in Touch

I'm taking the plunge and joining the world of bloggers. I chose this name to show I was keeping in touch with my wonderful children and grandchildren, but the more I ponder it, I think this will also mean keeping in touch with reality and myself. I'm not funny or clever like my daughters and daughters-in-law, but I enjoy reading their blogs so very much I hope they will be able to get something from mine. My wonderful children, this blog will most likely contain many random thoughts about the past and present and since I'm so poor at keeping a journal, this will help me with that also. So here goes, I've always loved swimming and now I'm taking a deep breath, holding my nose, and plunging into the stream of bloggers as I try to keep my head above water. SPLASH!
