Can you smell the wood burning ? ? ?

Temari Ball

Oh my dear lord.  I've been on and off on the phone with Apple all evening. My iPad is getting pokey so I thought I might need a new battery. I won't even go into what I had to do to talk to someone at the closest Apple Store in Providence.  We'll just say that I have to have an appointment and they couldn't book it for a week ahead!!! So I telephoned and ended up speaking with someone who had me open to a diagnostic page on the device and he told me the battery was fine but I should clean out the whole iPad and start over. The reason for all the phone calls is that it takes time for the device to get all stored on the computer before we can empty it out and it then becomes brand new again and then we have to restore all the stuff I like from the computer using Wifi. Whatever.  Suffice it to say that it is at this time downloading all the stuff I've purchased as apps and then tomorrow when they call at 8am we'll get all of the stuff from iTunes and I should be good to go!  It really is running much faster now. They've also sent me some emails so I can try to do more useful things on my own.  HA!  Dreamers they are!

Had a nice visit from a friend I've known since All Hallows.  She brought me a Temari Ball, a Japanese art form I believe. She is very artistic.  I have a book she signed for me.  She did the cover illustration. It's really very nice.  Ps&D's Pop gave her a blue bird box and a post so she can attract the pretty things.  Hope she has good luck. Will pick up the Kiddo tomorrow and hope the snow doesn't mess up the weekend!
