We had computer problems this past week -- not exactly a crash really, just the inability to hook up to the Internet. (And without that, the computer is just nothin' but a big old electric solitaire machine!)
But so much better than a crash because we didn't lose anything.
We were busy in our real life. We had company, there were park activities, we are still working on "getting our house in order", we had books, I had crossword puzzles.
We enjoyed sunshine -- and rain*. But even with all that, I still suffered severe Internet withdrawal symptoms.
I use the computer the way I use the car -- no idea how it works or what happens inside it -- I just drive it! Fortunately, Bill understands the technical part of both and knows when he can fix something and when to call in help. This time he fixed it.
It's good to be back; I'm happy we are able to take turns "at the wheel" again.
*(On Friday ,the day after our last post, there was eight inches (8") of rain in this part of Florida! It was running down the streets and catch basins were all completely full. Now, a week later, the sun is shining and there is no sign that the roads here in the RV Park looked more like rivers then.) As former Oregonians, we are used to rain, but not that kind. It's more a slow steady and constant thing up there -- not that much in one 24-hour period.

Wow ... that's a LOT of rain!!!
Glad you're back online. I hate being without Internet access though it DOES eat up more of my 'reading' time than I'd care to admit.
Hugs and blessings,

I like this action photo, that is quite a puddle.

Love that description of the computer without internet as "a big old electric solitaire machine" :-) How true!

I know what you mean about being in withdrawal if you can't get regular internet access. Glad you have it all sorted out now. Sounds like you are enjoying your new place.

Glad you are back and hope there is some sun for you there.
So how long do you stay there?
Glad you got your computer to work.
Love,
Sandie
