Sholom “Peace”

We are so blessed to have the beautiful Sholom Park nearby.

And even though trees were lost during Hurricane Irma, it is still a place of peace.

My hubby and I spent about an hour walking all through the park this week and saw lots of workers still restoring some of the areas.

 

But for the most part, it is in good shape.

The weather has cooled quite a bit so we’ve taken advantage of it to get outside.

It’s been a very good week for me. I am on a new computer TODAY! And my hubby worked hard to transfer files from my ‘old one’. It didn’t exactly fail, it just slowed down to a crawl. I couldn’t visit much because of the problem with loading a page. Even my emails took forever. So I’m very pleased to be on a new Acer Netbook. I’m zipping right along. And if I haven’t visited with you lately….shout it out! I can’t wait to catch up with everyone!

I’m also writing this in Windows Live Writer. It hasn’t been available in awhile so I’m anxious to see if this will work! Cross your fingers for luck!

What’s new with you today?

Library Books

Do you have an IPAD or a Kindle? Have you ever checked out ebooks from your library?

I read books on my IPAD using a Kindle app and I love it! How nice to find the brand new Thomas Perry book, A String of Beads as an ebook that I could check out for 2 weeks. It’s a Jane Whitefield novel and oh, how I love this series. Jane is a Seneca Indian and I loved this character from the beginning. (I think I’ve read all of Thomas Perry’s books but haven’t updated them in Goodreads)

Hubby was sweet to check this book out of the library for me this week, too.

I was also able to check out The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up as an ebook. It has some GREAT reviews!

I’m joining Ricki Jill for Literary Friday.

Check your library’s website to see what’s available.

“The Snugg”

If you have an IPAD…

you’ll love this stylish leather case

from The Snugg!

I was asked to do a review so I told them to surprise me with the color.

They sent a RED leather IPAD cover and it is gorgeous! (fits our IPAD 3 perfectly)

The first thing you notice is that faint scent of real leather and then when you take it out of the packaging, you feel the smooth leather softness in your hands.

It’s beautiful AND practical!

I looked at the reviews and everyone loves this brand, The Snugg!

You can order it direct from the company and the prices are great!

I like the hand strap on the back. It’s perfect for carrying your IPAD or for reclining with it on your lap.

The first thing my husband said is that it lives up to it’s name. It’s perfectly ‘Snugg’ and everything is accessible…microphone, cord connections, etc.

I am thrilled with this IPAD case and have my eye on a baby blue one now!

Do you have an IPAD? Do you have a protective case that works as a stand? This one even has a loop to keep your Stylus!

I give this product a THUMBS UP!!!

Something to think about….

I’ve had an interesting week and learned a few things along the way. I appreciate all of your sweet comments and kind words!

I’m joining Mary for Mosaic Monday

and Diane for Beautiful Sunday

and Sunny Simple Sunday !

So it’s time for that ‘POP QUIZ’….

have you backed up your photos and files to an external hard drive or thumb drive today?

~~~Sweet Southern Hugs

I’m having a party…anyone care to join me?

Maybe not….since the party I am having is a

MAJOR PITY PARTY!

My computer crashed….

and yes, it happened to me last year, too.

But last year I had just done a back up to an external hard drive the night before.

Because my ‘new’ computer is only a few months old….

I hadn’t got into a habit of backing up.

If I could start this post with large letters and then get smaller and smaller….that would be how I feel.

I am totally leveled by this one. I feel like someone kicked me in the gut.

The good news is that my computer savvy hubby is working on the problem and there’s a slight chance he will be able to retrieve my photos.

I feel like my throat is closing off again so I will sign off until I get my enthusiasm back…and another new computer up and running. I haven’t been able to see my emails today but I will hopefully be able to read them later. So if you want to say something sweet to make me feel better….it will need to be in a comment on this post.

I know many of you have had this happen at some time or another so you’ll know how devastated I feel today.

So go now and back up your photos and files!

I’ll ask you later if you did! heehee!

There WILL be a test…

and it will be a pop test!

Is Aqua GREEN enough?

Happy St. Patrick's Day from my 'new toy'!

I spent my hard earned money this morning on a Netbook.

So now I am sitting in my lanai typing away on a 'baby' computer.

And guess what...it's AQUA!

Enjoy your day! I need to get aquainted with my new toy.

Or maybe I should SEW some more to earn enough money for something else!

I sure appreciate everyone who has purchased bags from me so that I can buy some of the 'extras' that I couldn't afford otherwise. I walked out of Walmart with a new computer and a bag full of zippers and thread. What a great feeling!

Are you wearing green today? I'm in the pink!
