For Mom


































I picked this gorgeous window for today, as this would have been my Mom's 84th birthday.
(No, that's not her name...but she would have liked the design.)

  3. Just checking in--nothing wrong, just busy as a cat on a hot tin roof for several days. I should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.

  4. Yes, it IS a nice stained glass window, listener.

    Oh, my--Brady passed on? Thank you for letting us know him, Renee. And that is a wonderful portrait.

  5. Yesterday's wash still two thirds on the line, and damp at the edges. No overnight rain, but some coming in an hour or so. Trick now is to get as much air time before the rain, without finding oneself IN the rain, dragging down laundry. . . .

  6. Well got 'em in just before it started to drizzle. But the drizzle stopped almost as soon's I got 'em in. They'd prolly be drier if I'd left 'em out -- but who ever knows?

  8. That's always the way.

  9. Spent the afternoon working on a new song. Then updated poor, neglected Arty. Then tried to post my blog entry on FB and was defeated by the captia. Why I have to go through that to post is beyond me and very frustrating. Never did get through it. So, the world of FB doesn't know about my wonderful new blog entry. Oh well. They'll probably live. *wry grin*

    Spent last night working on more quizzes. Got one almost ready to go. Just need to double check one songwriting attribution and find two more. I meant to do that today, but the song came and needed to be attended to. And then that FB captia thing really wiped me out. The audio is even more impossible than t he video captia. Completely beyond my capabilities. Much of the time I muddle along, coping with my disabilities, paying as little attention to hem as possible. And then something like this comes up and makes me feel totally inadiquate and useless. BLAH!

  10. Got up ate yogurt and an apple, then started oil painting "for an hour" before having a shower then scooting out to pick up VT*Grand. Looked up from painting and it was already time to leave to pick up Grand! Skipped the shower, but washed the brushes. I have my priorities! LOL!

    BLAH! It's not that we're inadequate but that some of the people setting up these things are --- I don't know if "stupid" is quite the right word. Maybe "lazy" is more precise. *Some* sites manage to set up things that a machine can't read but essentially any human can. Why can't everybody?

    Reminds we of something I recently saw about passwords. You're always encouraged to choose passwords that are hard for you to remember rather than ones that are hard for machines to guess.

  12. I scored a victory over mindless, pointless bureaucracy today. At long last.

    So Son *will* be able to take another college class (at no cost) while still in high school. (He *was* being refused, because he had not replied to a letter he never received.)

    This took way more effort on my part than it ever should have, but I think I finally convinced the Powers That Be that I was intent on being a pain in their collective asses until they relented.

  13. Well done, Renee!

  14. Making progress with iPhone but n ot quite there yet. I managed to log in to FB, finally find my favorite group and leave a brief message. Then figured out how to put Howard Empowered on iPhone's main page. Opened comments. Got the comment box to open and typed a brief message...and ran into a brick wall. The page wanted me to select a profile, who to comment as, but wouldn't let me select a profile. Thinking about it now, it may be that I was commenting on the main blog page rather than opening the Haloscan comments page? Anyway, very nearly there. I'll get it eventually. But, boy, is my neck stiff and my left hand sore. Next time, must take listener's advice about laying the phone flat on a table rather than holding it. That probably won't help my neck, but it sure will help my hand.
