IMAC


 I was so frustrated with my computer I ordered a refurbished IMAC from Amazon along with a warranty and Microsoft files to add.  It was only $274 plus tax.  I began to worry that I was probably taking on something that would be to hard for me to learn and then I got a email that said the order had been canceled so I called and canceled the other two items also.  And I thought it was probably a good thing and then...

It was delivered the next day!  So I bravely set it up and turned it on and it was like greek to me...all about voice over and learning the keys etc.  I spent three days trying to figure it out and I was so discouraged.  Then the Games gal said she could help me the next morning and could tell if I had something I could keep or not.

I was so discouraged thinking what was wrong with me.  One fellow said in answer for help that IMACs are so easy and I really felt discouraged.  I prayed for my mind to be capable of figuring this out.  And...

When I sat down in the morning there was a new message on the board which gave me hope and then I looked under the mouse that I could not figure out how to work and lo and behold there a piece that came out and plugged into the back of the computer!!!!!!

And then it all came together and I was doing well...after a few glitches I was on my way.  Still have a few items to solve but Gary said he would try and help me if I need it.  We will see.

But everything is so much easier to do!!!!   Everything!!!  I should have gone Apple years ago.

No More Apple Turnovers

 I was itching so badly and having to use eczema therapy cream on my legs and arms every day and night and then I read that gluten was bad for eczema and I quit eating gluten and lo and behold I stopped itching.  Of course, I had already given up most everything.  Except sugar, I still sneak that in there too often but certainly not as much.

Today I was in Costco getting my hearing aids adjusted and on my way out I tried these mini choc chip cookies, gluten free, sugar free, made out of almonds, keto friendly.  They are excellent and will be my new snack.

Meagan and Her Daughters Road Trip

Meagan's family have planned a ski trip to Alta and I am on the way.  Meagan and her girls are staying at Treeo for two nights and then picking up Matt and Nico at the airport.  They are just two floors above me so can come up and down the stairs very easily.


 

This morning Meagan took them to a ceramic store where they all painted their own.  They will be oven baked while they are skiing and pick them up when they return.



They slept late eveey morning so came down to my place and I made them my gluten free waffles and bacon.  They liked them.


While they were here they put out my cushions on my swing and put a hummingbird feeder on Sadies doggy door.  They also bought me a beautiful plant for spring.

 


Matt took our picture in front of one of the pink blossoming trees that are all around the parking lot of the church and I get to look at a big one from my patio window.

Meagan and the girls had stopped in Las Vegas and had a fun adventure and are staying in St George on the way back.  

Sadie had so much fun with the girls and was so excited to see them.  Eden had given her so much attention he climbed all over her, remembered her well.
