Uh...sorry these are out of order...
The last two posts I just put up probably need a bit of explanation. I had made these into a draft, unknowingly, and just now posted them, well after the fact. Read previous briefs if you wanna catch up!
Computer security and genealogy...yeah that's totally interesting!
I guess today is the day for tweaking my laptop. It didn't start out that way, but that's how it progressed. Kim Komando did it to me! Russ sent me an email from her and it was chock full of how to keep your computer secure. I am so confused now, I pray my 'puter IS smarter than I am and remembers all of the stuff I just did to (for) it! It was reassuring to know that my anti-virus program was one of tree she mentioned. Russell (my son) put me on to AVAST! and it has been working great.
On the other hand, malware and spyware and ad ware and whatever kind of other "ware" there is has attacked me repeatedly. With any luck what I did today will help alleviate those problems.
When I sat down here, I had intended to work on genealogy. I only have four more days of Ancestry before my six month subscription runs out. I will work on what the site still lets me do until another low-cost subscription. Right now that's the only way I can afford to subscribe to it. Anc:-estry has provided lots of "leaves" for me to investigate and they have produced fantastic results. I am hooked. Hope I win the lottery soon so I can subscribe forever! Oh, wait...to win you have to buy at least one ticket! Guess that form of income is out then... :-(
I could sit here for hours rambling on and on...but since I am the only one who ever reads this, I can just think, and not waste my precious fingers!

re-visiting the writing of my blog...procrastination is my middle name!!
Ok, so.....it's been months since my last blog and I have so much to say I can't even begin. Let me start with this: I have spent the last thirty minutes catching up on the many blogs Colleen and Steve have written in the last year...I did not read most of them initially, because of the things Colleen mentioned in one of her blogs..busy, forgot, thought I'd call instead and didn't, and so forth. Anyway, reading them now brought tears to my eyes, mostly from laughing. It gave me an insight to my granddaughter's personalities and how she deals with those sweet little girls. I miss them all.
I believe, Colleen, you are probably the only person in the world who actually reads this, at some time, so I should just address it to you! But, regardless of the audience, I want the world to know that I have an awesome daughter who has awesome children, and an awesome husband. He has made it thus far in that estrogen pool and looks to be surviving!
Co, you weave the everyday life into fantastic word images, and I thoroughly enjoy them, when I do actually get a "round tuit"!! Continue on, my darlin', as I am sure there are many others who enjoy your stories as well....
I cannot promise regular writings, as I have in the past. I write when I can and hope it will become a routine thing in my daily life. One can wish...and hope....and pray....I do believe prayers are answered, so.....!
See ya on the go 'round!!

Looking back...50 years and counting!!
The years have gone by so quickly it seems. Tomorrow will be the 50th wedding anniversary of my sweetheart and I. The few lows have been quite low, the highs outweighing them by far, our love growing through thick and thin. Just like a garden, love takes care and nurturing. Without constant weeding and watering, danger lurks, in the form of weeds that take over. I liken weeds to a withering of love, if not remembered daily, by both partners in love.
Love is a lot of work but is made easier when two are pulling together in the same direction. Hand-holding in the park, smooching in the movie and caring more about the other than yourself. These are the things it takes to stay together. Commitment is prime. It is so easy now-a-days for couples to ed a relationship over relatively minor issues. They may seem insurmountable to overcome when you are in the middle of them, but that is why it is so important to step back and take a breath before making life-changing decisions.
Our lives, mine and Russ', have taken us across oceans, continents, to other countries and back. The family we have created from our love grows and grows. We look at the children we have born and are in wonderment at what we started! Five children have turned into, at last count today, fourteen grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.....and counting!
From California to Japan and back again, our life began as a three year honeymoon. Our baby son was with us and we loved every minute of our time in foreign lands. California again and two girls later found us a few years later buying a farm in Missouri, where we took up residence and for the next five years created another little part of our Eden. The ground and I were both quite fertile, it seems and two more kiddies were brought forth...a boy and a girl, only 13 months apart.
Not long after the lat birth, we changed farms, going from the 130 acres to a little 20 acre plot. This is really not a history! I am just touching the high spots!
Manhattan, Kansas became our home for several years after that, about 10 of them, I believe. Hawaii became our home for about four years while I attended Brigham Young University, in Laie. It was a great time for Russ and I but school was a bit of a trial for the our two youngest still at home. So very few words here, for this time, but that belongs in a real history!
Colorado, then back to Missouri. And here we are, having planted children in lives of their own, growing their own little 'weeds', and turning them into flowers. As gardens do, this one continues to multiply, adding little flower treasures to our family generations.
I am going all maudlin on y'all! Memories take me back to early times and make me wish I were there again, starting all over again. Not much would I really change, just a few things. But then who knows what havoc that would wreak on the world! You never know, but remember how the flutter of the wings of a butterfly in the Amazon is said to be able to cause hurricanes far away.
So, my happy reader, this is our life in a very tiny nut shell. As time goes by, there may be more here on this very same subject, but then maybe not!
Come back an find out!!!

mobile posting and other electronic stuff
Well, I did it! I have not fallen to twittering, but I am figuring out how to blog on the go! There may be a learning curve...shoot, I guarantee there will be a learning curve, but once I get it figured out and why I would even want to do it, I will play around with it, and see how I like it. It will probably be an effort not appreciated by anyone but myself, since I don't think there are many folks following my blogs yet! The fun thing about it is, I think I can send pictures to it, on the go! That might be cool...we will see. ...see ya on the go 'round

kindle...
I might be getting a Kindle sometime this year for our 50th wedding anniversary in May!! I am so excited... I am getting a jump-start, however, in the Kindle experience...I have been able to use my Blackberry to be a mini-kindle!! It works great, even though small and you have to click space bar a million times to get through a book! Small screen, ya know.. Actually, Amazon has made it possible to even use your PC a a Kindle. Not as handy as a real one, but you can read on your laptop or home computer. Also, if you are reading a book on the Blackberry, and then go to the PC, it keeps your place and you can continue reading back and forth, as you need to!! Pretty cool. They call it seamless reading, or something like that. Amazon, you owe me for this Kindle ad!!!
