Trying To Keep Up With the New Generation

When we got home from Branson, there waiting on my (really messy) desk was a brand new shiny black computer! Brandon and Ryan had worked to download all my stuff onto it. Butch helped me get some programs set up on it. And now I can USE it. It is so WAY FASTER than any of my old things. And it is all mine. Never been used. In honor of my new computer, I cleaned my desk off and several other areas in my office. (Actually, I was trying to locate my Adobe Photo Shop cd so that Butch could load it on for me. I had put it in a "SAFE SPOT". It was so safe it took me about six hours to find it.) Anyway, it's up and running and my emails work so quickly now. (It took 30 minutes to download a 2 minute video on my old computer and then the computer would randomly freeze whenever it felt like it.....) Now if only I were as efficient as my computer. Although I was able to find my printer software and load it all by myself.

Our next leap into the younger generation is that we got Mike a Wii for Father's Day/Birthday. Mindy came over last night and set it up. We golfed, bowled, played baseball, raced, fished, and did many other fun activities until about 1am. It was WAY fun. We can see that we will need to get more remote thingees. (I don't know what they are called.....) I will have to practice during the day to even come close to keeping up with Mike, Mindy, or Michael.

Today I got to go to a 3 hour scrapbooking class put on by Cosmo Cricket. They always give prizes and I won one of the best. You get much more stuff than the cost of the class so how can I NOT go. It was lots of fun.
