Yes, it has been a long time since I last posted! And I received a number of emails asking if everything was okay – thank you so much for your concern. We are all well – well except for my poor cat Lucky who needs extensive dental surgery for which I may have to remortgage my house! Nope, it was all technology based again! My IMac is 12 years old (yeah for long lasting Apple products). Gord has been bugging me for YEARS to get a new one but I resist change if it is not necessary. And until January it was not necessary. It still works but because of advanced age it could no longer be updated and some programs, including my WordPress blog, no longer were supported. So decision time – do we spend all that money on a new IMac or does my blog just die. I decided, I do really like keeping in touch so, yup we bit the bullet and ordered a new IMac but of course, the waiting time got extended a few times for various reasons as with everything during Covid. Finally it arrived – but then we had to have everything transferred from the old to the new AND load a lot of things on and practice as things had changed somewhat since the last time we updated the old computer. Then LEARNING CURVE yikes – so we decided to keep the old IMac and set it up beside the new one so that we could figure things out. My desk looks like some kind of techie genius’ desk haha and Gord has been busy! Finally today, I feel ready (I think) to try a post. So a few wonderful show and tell pieces have been stored for a few weeks – I hope I remembered who hooked or punched or stitched what…
