Computer Tech--I need my own!
I bought a new printer that has network
capabilities and will print front and back. I
bought it because I would like to write some
books and I can print them myself.
Technology comes with headaches. I had to figure
out how to put in on the network. The disk with it
would not load on vista. Had to go on line and find
the drivers. The exact name of the printer was not
there.
Finally took it back and told them it would not work.
They had it print front and back down there. So I
brought it home and started over.
I have 2007 Microsoft word. Can't even find the button
on it for advanced print. It just has a quick print
button. Finally went on line and found where to find
the button.
Went back to work on the printer. Called HP and was
on the phone mostly waiting for an hour. The young
man at the store suggested this.
About an hour ago I hooked the printer to the computer
with a direct cord. Got the driver I thought was right--
still this disk did not have the printer I bought listed.
But with persistance everything will work out. I got the
printer loaded with a driver number that was almost like
the printer number I bought. Found the duplex button on
from word. It was under the page listed as Finishing in
properties. Tada...I printed something front to back.
Patsy, call Fleta and tell her you are glad she will come
over to help you. I can't call her to come ...it is too
far and gas is still too high.
Now, will I ever write a book. I am wanting Larry to write
one about squirrel hunting and sell it at his site...he
said "I can't write a book", but I think he can.

Copy Cat
I had two old cameras and gave them
to Astrid and Ingrid. Siggie got this
toy camera that will take pictures and
she thinks she is a pro like Erin. She
will take a shot and then tell you to
look at it. All I see is a bunch of
snow on the screen but she can see a
beautiful picture that she took. The
eye of the beholder is in the heart?

Erin Moving on Up
Erin asked to go to days at the Hospital. I
think she will like it...she will go in a 7
and be off at 3. She will get to rotate days
so some weekends she will be off and sometimes
her days off will fall during the week. Clayton
will gain the most....more time with Momma. When
she was with him before she was so tired from
working all night that we was only partly there.
I am happy for her...hope you are too!

Four Joys!
I can tell by the look in Clayton's
eyes that he knows the the girls are
little folks like he is. And he likes
them a lot.
Great Joy--Reading
If I had only one talent to wish upon
my Grandchildren, I would hope that they
would be good readers. Reading is a joyful
pastime and nothing compares to the benefits
gained. When I went to College I often, heard
fellow students cry about having to read
several chapters each evening. It was not
problem for me as I have been excellent reading since Mrs. Atchley lit that spark in my soul
when I was in the 4th grade. I could read before
that but she introduced me to the joy I could
find there.
Here are three of the books I am reading.
Where did I put my Glases? is about memory
loss. Martha Lear wrote it. I have been
trying to finish it for 3 months, but am
only half way through it...I can't remember
to finish it and it just lays on the table.
I think John McCain could benefit from the
book. He should read it, but I would venture
to guess that he is not a reader. What do
you think?
I finished the Hemingses of Monticello -- An
American Family last weekend. Annette Gordon-Reed
wrote this book about the entire Hemings family.
I have read several other books about Sally
Hemings and Jefferson. I really enjoyed the
book. Jefferson believed that the black race
was inferior to the white. He thought that
mixing white blood with the black improved
the intelligence of the blacks. If a person
in VA was born to a mixed race mother, he
was black. Sally's grandmother was black.
Her mother was half black/half white. She was
3/4 white and her Hemings children had a white
father...go figure...how much black, but they
were slaves.
The third book and the one I am reading now is
My Father's Paradise-- A son's search for his
Jewish past in Kurdish Iraq. It is by Ariel
Sabar. It is about a man born in CA who grew
up like a beach boy. His father was professor
at UCLA. When Ariel becomes a father, he
decides to discover his father's roots. His
father moved from the hills of Iraq to Isreal
to the USA. He grew up speaking the language
of Jesus. It is a very interesting book.
I enjoyed taking the history and news quizes
that Fleta posted. I enjoy reading a good
book. I enjoy drinking black coffee in the
early morning when most of the world sleeps.
I enjoy my sister's blogs and my children's.
I enjoy going for a long walk and that is
where I am off to now!

Taking Quizes
I have been taking Fleta's quizes and
checking out names. Erin has the most
common name of my bunch. There are two
of Astrid, 9 of Ingrid and Sigrid is an
original. There are several of little
Clayton.
Renfroe is rarer than Powell. Poor is
not a common name. i did not check Aday,
See or Jones. But Christensen was much
more common than I thought and there are
a bunch of my son-in-law Christensen out
there but more of Greg Joneses than you
would believe.
On the news quizes I scored from 50 plus
to in the 70s and I may start taking these
everyday. I will have to send myself the
links because at my work all our blogs are
blocked--they are classified bad sites for
education. I honestly don't see why. I can
see how a teacher could use a blog with the
classroom. You can set them up so the comments
are sent to you before post and the teacher
could check everything before it is posted.
In fact some of the blog sites are ok, but
the google one we use is banned.

Walking and What I saw
Helen, I took this...this morning on
my walk. It is too dark to take any
pictures. It was raining a little too.
