Jan. 12, 2010

Yesterday was my 81st Birthday. My daughter Melinda had me a Birthday dinner, cake and gift on Sunday, so was a great day.
We still have snow and weather has been in the teens and twenties. Vernon had taken the bird feeder down last fall and hadn't put it back, so I was missing the birds. He isn't supposed to outside if the temp is below 40 degrees, so I put my snow boots on and get the bird bath (they don't take baths in the Winter do they?LOL), put it into the center of the yard and place a board across it and bring the bird feeder and place it on the board. Instant flock of birds, Red Cardinals, Chickadees, Tufted titmouse, Wrens, Finches and today there were three black birds big enough to "eat", and I shooed them away, CROWS. LOL>

My desktop computer has died! Got that dreaded Blue screen! I've had it before but was able to re format and reinstall my Win. XP but not this time, it won't recognize my CD ROM. guess it is gone forever, of course I still have my Laptop, but I did all my craft pictures an etc on the desktop. Guess it's died of old age, bought it in 1994 and that's about as long as they last, I think.

Have to figure out what to paint on two ornaments for my list exchange. I love painting but just hate trying to figure out what to paint.
Talk later!
