Too Bad

My computer went for ten days with no snafus. Yesterday my hopes that its problems had been cured ended. IE 7 hung, Windows Media Player would not load and the computer hung when I tried to put it in the sleep mode. I cannot figure out what triggered the problems. After the troubles, I rebooted. and the computer is fine. It is a puzzle. The computer was better after the May update Tuesday, but these problems started after Microsoft unleashed an unscheduled batch of security updates for Office 2007 on Thursday.

 

I finished decorating my red hat. It now has a band of purple sequins and a big purple flower attached. I am rather proud of my efforts.

 

Yesterday afternoon I went to the beginners' bridge group. They have stopped calling themselves beginners. They are now the singles group. Yesterday I was reading a little about bridge in a book that I have had for years on card games. It said the best way to learn bridge is just keep playing.

 

Most of my packages from my Internet shopping binge have arrived. I finally got the sandals that were back ordered. I was relieved to find they fit. I ordered a book on Photoshop Elements 5. This morning I received an email from Amazon that said they have shipped the book. The Sandisk flash drive still has not been released. I will be glad when it gets here so I can test the scanning function of the new printer.

 

Today there is an antique car show here in Frisco Lakes. I am going to take my camera and see if I can get some good pictures. It rained early this morning, but the rest of the day is supposed to be partly cloudy. It is rather cool. I think the nice cool spring has retarded my caladiums. When I went out this morning, I noticed 3 or 4 more have sprouted, but they are producing very small leaves. They look stunted.

 

On Thursday I am going to Granbury. There is going to be a luncheon-cruise on a riverboat. Granbury has an old opera house, and we are going to see a musical. Granbury is supposed to be rather picturesque. I will be toting my camera.
