lots of fun as I played on my laptop recently…

I was able to finally download a program that will gather and save my photos… I’d tried a week ago to make this happen, but clearly the desktop did not want to cooperate…

another new piece of technology for me to learn how to use, lol…

today I got it installed on the desktop and it is currently collecting photos… will see how it works tomorrow…

this morning I set up for a FaceTime meeting with a friend to see if we could connect a portable drive to her Mac…

we’d gone shopping for it a number of weeks ago and planned to meet in person to get it connected…

lots of fun as we tried to figure it out from a distance, lol… I know how the drive works but don’t have a clue about Macs…

we think we got it sorted out after a number of bumps in the road;-)..

we also talked about Google Photos, which I’ve been using for quite some time… it is free and easy to access from my phone or the computer… it is simple to make albums and to put photos back onto my phone if I need/want them…

spent some time proofing a document for my daughter, worked on my recipe book a bit and watched a few PVRd shows…

later I baked sweet potato fries… fried up some pickerel breaded with crushed potato chips… and made a tartar sauce…

it was all delicious and I enjoyed every bite…

this morning’s activities included two particular items…

I started a pot of chicken soup as I now have a cold… the aroma permeated the house throughout the day and I was very eager to eat it for supper…

it was very tasty😋…

the other, and more exciting, thing that I did was pick up my Nikon and walk around the house taking pictures of flowers and greenery… can’t even remember when I last used it…

planning to practice with the camera over the next while and see if I can’t improve my photos…

although this one is basically the same as my last camera, I am not doing near as good a job of producing great pictures…

spent an hour or so this morning moving pictures in my Google Photos into albums… I really need to do this more often once I’ve got my Albums sorted out so that it doesn’t take so long…

just about the time I finished I got a text from a friend who wanted to do some shopping for an external drive and maybe spend a bit of time learning a few things about her iPhone…

I did some research on best deals and when she picked me up we headed to Staples to purchase the drive… it was a great deal, she got a 2 terabyte backup for the same amount I paid for 1 terabyte in September;-)…

we learned about a new offering they have… $20/month for a year for online support for up to 5 devices… sounds like it might be a great program for those who don’t have access to their own computer geek…

from there we went for lunch at Za Pizza Bistro… delicious, and I had half to bring home for tomorrow’s supper…

once we got home we spent another hour or so going over some tips and tricks for the iPhone… we’ve already scheduled our next time to play together…

after she left I wrote out notes about all the things we covered and sent the info off to her…

helping others with technology makes me very happy…

on my final day of work I took a selfie with each person on staff…

I’ve since used those photos to update their contact and address information in my phone…

at first I was cropping myself out of the pictures, but then I realized how nice it was to see us together;-)… so I’ve left them as I took them…

it is lovely when I am sending a text or email to see their faces;-)…

had the best time watching the videos we took when we were in Maui…

gave the card, from the GoPro we rented, to my daughter when we came home and just got my copy when I was in Ottawa…

spent quite some time trying to get photos from the videos and eventually found the option to save a single frame as a picture;-)… that was entertaining…

the smile on my face says it all… snorkelling was such fun and being in the giant aquarium with the fish and turtles was amazing;-)…

such a lovely reminder of the wonderful time we had in and under the water…

also, there were photos that my daughter took of me on the stand-up paddle board…

need to spend a bit more time working on balance…

such wonderful memories;-)…

saw the most amazing sky tonight as I was walking through the house…

it always amazes me when I just happen to look out and see a gorgeous sunset or sunrise… there are so many moments that we miss because we aren’t looking, lol…

here is one of the photos that I took, just before my camera advised me it was exhausted…

I am feeling that a pattern is appearing in my days… I am getting up around eight or nine and then having a relaxing breakfast… today I had some chicken soup I’d made a few days ago in the Instant Pot… I hadn’t tasted it when I made it so was pleased with it this morning… I’d woken up with a stuffy nose, so chicken soup seemed like a great start to my day…

for my lunch I had some of the Mexican Chicken Soup I’d made at the same time…. I will make this again as it is very tasty…

a bit later I spent some time working at cleaning out a kitchen drawer… even went as far as putting a liner in as well… took a while for everything to dry and be ready to go back into the drawer and a number of things hit the garbage and pass-me-over box…

reading, watching tv, tidying, napping and cooking take up the rest of the day…

so far I am enjoying the relaxed quiet days…

woke up this morning thinking of my beloved… he’s been gone for seven and a half years, and I miss him every day…

I try not to use the same photos in more than one medium, but this is one of my favourites, so I am sharing it broadly…

he would have been 71… in his honour I made bacon and eggs over easy for breakfast, lol…

put on a purple plaid shirt and jeans… he was always in jeans and had a favourite plaid shirt that he often wore…

after a busy day, my grandson met me at work, we ran a few errands and had dinner out…

ended our meal with apple crisp and ice cream… my beloved made the best apple pie;-)…

lovely day filled with happy memories…
