One of Bonnie's Homegrown Tomatoes
This morning started off pretty slow and lazy. then a little before noon Bonnie called and said her son Cheyenne could come over this afternoon and tune up my computer. So after lunch she, Cheyenne and Craig came over. Bonnie brought us another beautiful tomato. Joe and Craig visited about haying, and machinery. Cheyenne got everything I had written down fixed, including switching from Outlook Express to Microsoft Office for my email program (it comes with Office), and reinstalling the scanner so now I can finish the job of scanning all of the family photos that my cousin Maryann loaned me five? years ago. That will be another big job taken off the list. He worked on several other small things too, so I hope now that it's all going to work like it should.
We got the updated artwork history database on a CD which I hadn't done for a long time. And although "it" was telling me I needed to update Trend micro virus and I said o.k. and bought it 2 or 3 months ago for $40 - but I never installed it - I was afraid it would conflict with Webroot which is also in here. So Cheyenne suggested that Webroot was enough and not to put the Trend in too. It came from Best Buy with both installed in it. Thank goodness the computer is taken care of now. Thank you so very very much for taking the time to come over here and work on it, Cheyenne.
And I still have to call again about my TV though. Getting a time scheduled got waylaid a week or so ago so I'll do that next week. And I also promise to take my new cell phone in to Verizon (same guy as the TV) and get that other person and his messages off my phone, whatever that takes.
When Bonnie called, I hurried and whipped up a Chess Pie for us all to have a piece, or for them to take home with them. After the computer was done, we had pie. Craig is a good welder and builds gates among other things, so Joe finally asked him to build us a new gate. He's talked about it for years now. The gate will have our brand on it. I hoped for pack horses and wildlife because Craig does an awesome job with that kind of thing, but Joe said just the brand. That will be nice too.
I fixed us french dip sandwiches and fries for dinner - we really weren't even hungry after the pie. Tonight I'll pay a few bills and get a bank deposit ready. Joslyn called and she had bought Joe a new pair of sunglasses and they are ready for him to pick up - Joe liked hers better than what he's had that the eye doctor gave him. He'll get them next time he goes to town. Thank you so much for doing that for him Joslyn, and Howie too.
Betty called and we had our weekly visit. And also Sheral checked up on us.
So ..... ominously cloudy all day but no rain so far..... only the tiniest of sprinkles, maybe a little in the night but not so you could tell. So much for the hazardous weather warning. Charm said it was raining up at their place at Boulder Lake so glad it's raining somewhere. Maybe it will help put out the New Fork fire, but I bet it smolders until the snow comes.
Isn't this amazing. Gina sent it to me yesterday. This is a hummingbird nest she found in her willow bushes when she was trimming them. And what's so neat is that this is woven entirely from Nube's mane and tail hair that Bob combed out of her last spring!. Gina says the hole just fits her little finger. Horse hair isn't a good thing for bird nests because the babies can get their feet tangled in it and be caught and die that way. She said she saw no evidence that any birds had died. Nube technically is a red roan, that's why the nest looks so pink - that's the color she is in winter and spring, darker in summer. Thank you for sharing this, Gina.
