Hells Bells - I've got to get back to my Blog

                                                                 Northern Mockingbird

Back to the drawing board. Wow, it's been ages since I've felt like blogging. But this may be it for a while more. I've got to get my camera back into proper working order! That is a huge task for me!

What a mess . . .

 I have no idea how the computer has gotten so messed up but I'm am blaming Microsoft. It keeps trying to get me to download Xbox and other nonsense. I will continue to play with it and when I finally get really ticked off I may have to get in touch with our youngest to see if she can set things straight! 

                                                                                                                                                     Well at least I managed to get a photo here. So  I'll call it quits for today. I may just find the patience to work on my blog another day! Qui sait? I may have learned something again! Wow!

Think I'll try to put a photo of an Eastern Bluebird . . .

 

It worked. I'm flabbergasted. Maybe I can get the hang of this once more.

Wow, I can't believe I haven't been working on my Blog!

I guess I'll Have to refresh my memory. I seem to have lost my way. Not sure how to even set it up properly. So I am going to copy some old letters and see how I make out!
Here goes:

Dear Irene,
 
     Am enclosing a check for the coverage of your kind loan. Thank you so much for________dating us. Our little trip was a lot of fun but a bit tiring. We made the return journey in the usual 3 1/2 hours and found everything under control. Went to work today and every one believed my little white lie. So that's that for the time being.
     Come over to see us soon. Ray told me tonite that he plans to visit in Moosup with Marshal probably next week end. Thanks again to everyone and all our love to you all.
                                                             
                                                                             Aunt Irene

Well this is interesting to me at least!



I'm trying to make sure that I don't completely forget how the heck to get to my blog! I've got to tell you it ain't easy to be getting ready to complete my eighty first year on this crazy planet. But . . . P and I are alive and still kicking so I guess that's not too bad. How to keep your brain from turning into mush is another question! I find myself getting tired by the time 1pm comes around so I have to make sure that I do anything important in the morning after 9am. For some reason I'm ready to go about what ever business I have to do at that time; then I can't return home much later than noon because that seems to be the extent of my working hours!

At least I did manage to go food shopping today and take a walk. I consider that two jobs well done!

Trying not to lose my blog account!

 I don't post regularly any more but it seems I'd better post once in a while or Google will delete my account. I'm not sure if keeping up my blog will help to keep the account. I don't want them to throw it out because it does hold some memories. I'm  hoping this will keep Google working for me!

 
I'd prefer the photo above my post but I'll not play with it now!
