Short And Sweet

It's been a while since the last post. When you have four kids, time seems to either fly by or stand completely still. Lately, it has been flying by and seems to be gaining speed.

We had the best time last weekend, getting together with family from near and far. My father and his second wife came over from England and my uncle and aunt were down from Maine. Cousins were in attendance and all of my siblings and their spouses and kids. Quite a lot of people. It was wonderful to see everyone and there were lots of photo opportunities.

The reason for the gathering, (yes, we seem to need a reason) was to celebrate the first time ever performance of a play my father wrote some ten years ago. "As Fair As You Were". (I've not seen the play yet, but plan to this coming weekend.)

So there you have it, short and sweet.

Chalk Lines vs Technology

It's been a hectic couple of weeks since my last post. No details on that, as I want to forget most of those events.

Today's goal is to reformat the blog site. This is quite challenging, as I am not a highly technology literate person. I know what I want it to look like, but getting there seems insurmountable.

Now, if this was to be created in chalk, I could physically take the chalk and draw things in the colors I wanted and move them around, erasing what doesn't work. But this computer things is irksome. I mean, what I want to do, is to reach into the computer and move one item from an area to another. I want to change individual sections with picture size and even the colors. I make a change and go to the preview, only to find that the change has not happened. And once it does happen, the photo is too big! Ugh!

So today, I will work for a few more minutes on the layout of my blog and then it will be time for my "little miss" to awake and eat. My worries will disappear with her awakening and technology will be the furthest thing from my mind.
