Lazy Day!

How many Lazy Days do you allow yourself? Seems like mine are getting far too many.
I can't seem to get motivated to get to painting. We are having company tomorrow, so will have to cook for them. Should be an enjoyable Day.
Waiting for my ATC from my partner. I have a notebook that I keep them in.
Talk later!

Happy Camper!

Today I'm happy 'cause as directed, I called at noon today to
Suddenlink and the Tech lady walked me through the process of setting up my IP address between the Router and the Modem. Christy was very patient with this ole Lady! Hey wasn't it nice of Pete from the Suddenlink.Corp to write the comment he wrote? Suddenlink even gave me a credit for the time I was off line. Great Service!!
It has been cold today, from the teens this AM up into the 20's today.
I'm enclosing a picture of the ATC cards I've painted for my partner. Hope she likes them.

PC problems

I've been having Internet problems for about 4 days now. The other day, the tech from Suddenlink said my PC wasn't recognizing my Router.No other advice was given. So, I'm thinking we need a new Router, right? Well, Vernon being the ole Instrument mechanic, Electrician, he checked it with his Volt meter and it checked out OK. So today, I call Suddenlink back and get another Tech. He has me Ping and do all those things, and told me if was NOT my router, the trouble was on their end, I'm not showing an IP address. First time I ever got them to admit it was their fault, lol. May be Thursday noon before it is fixed. Go figure! I'm still using my daughter's connection from my painting window. I get real cranky when my computer isn't working, (smile).

Dreary Day

I did get some painting finished today! Yeah!! Another small metal plate. I think I bought these at Craft Wholesale, along with bigger metal plates and they were very reasonable , but you have to have a resale number to buy from them.
It has snowed off and on today, not much accumulation, although I haven't looked much outside today. Still don't have my desktop PC. Will have to buy a battery.
Is it time to eat yet? Vernon made beef stew.
Talk Later!

I Dislike Winter!

Well today was a lot better, warmer wise.Went to Church, came home and cooked. Sure hope we don't get any of the new "stuff" they are predicting for the first of the week..
My Internet went out. Suddenlink said, my PC wasn't recognizing my router, so couldn't get on. So , I came into my painting room which faces Melinda, and I'm on her wireless! LOL> Shhhhh.
Have to get up early, go to Ashland, for Vernon to get lab work for his appt. on Friday. We've tried going local for the lab work, but then when we get to the Dr. Appt., he hasn't rec'd the lab Fax! Incomputent (sp) people!
Have to find a battery for the PC too, it keeps bringing up that black screen saying, "your battery is getting low".
Hope it isn't icy roads tomorrow.
Talk later!

Sunshine

Today brought out the sun and melted most of the snow on the ground. Vernon working on the genrator, can't get it to run. Would love to have it the next time we get "snow bound".
We finally got the pine tree off the house, still has to be cleaned out of our yard, but at least it is off the house.
Tomorrow starts a new week, and I hope I can be more productive than I've been this week.

Whew!

At last the tree is off the roof of our house! it has snowed off and on all day, just like March weather. I think it is ice now, my daughter came over and said the sidewalk was ice and the cars coming down our little lane are driving really slow!
Next time I'm where I can find one, I'm buying one of those camp stoves, so we can at least cook if our power goes off again, lol.
Wonder what tomorrow will bring? Just think Monday is Groundhog Day!
