New Technology - Wonderful and Awful

A new laptop was delivered this afternoon!

It is slightly smaller than my old one and a pound lighter.

(both positive points with my wrists!)

The joy dims pretty quickly when I have to slog through setting it up like my old one

 which was so easy access and convenient!

I'm sorry to whine;  

I have come down with a cold and my head is exploding with fluids....

Someone else is not adjusting to the time change either!

                              He is up too early and wipes out way before our usual schedule-

well he is keeping to it but I am not cooperating as far as he's concerned!  

 We have to meet in the middle!  

Soon! 

Get Cereus!

I have been watching my Cereus plant just hoping for a bud so I can stay home and see it bloom this time!  Yippee! 

I will check it every day so I won't miss it! 

I finished the dish cloth/hot pad done in double knitting.  It was ok to do, I did get more coordinated as I went along but now I am having second thoughts about making a hat with this technique.

I do like the look of this-it does remind me of double weaving!

We will see when I put this to use again. 

Millie brought over another quilt-she is making great progress putting all the vintage blocks she inherited, to good use!

I will quilt it with a daisy pantograph. 

We have a new rug in the tv room.  I like the name my daughter gave it-chocolate swirls!

It is so thick and cushiony!  (The old rug is moved to a room with less traffic.) 

And to match, a runner at the front door.

It's nice to have a great perker upper like this! 

Of course, all the cats had to come and sniff it out!  Nyki approved! 

I also received a 'new' toy.......a cell phone!  A smart phone!

I am still getting acquainted but it's not so different from my laptop or kindle so I am maneuvering pretty easily!

I sure appreciate the connection to my family and friends that technology gives me!
