As a lot of the U.S. is now, Arkansas is forecast to have what is for us, heavy snow and possibly ice, Thursday evening into Friday. Oh, joy. We will go to our doctor appointment tomorrow afternoon, and then stock up at Walmart and Harps on the way home. We’ll probably be snowed in long after the rest of Greenwood thaws and gets back to normal – one of the ‘perks’ of living up a steep driveway on top of a ridge line. I’m already wishing for spring!

We are doing well, otherwise. My husband got a new suggestion from the tech he was working with about the computer program that was not opening. What she suggested this time worked, so all is good there now. HOORAY!
________________
Also, I received a notice from Microsoft that they won’t support Windows 10 after October. My ancient computer is not capable of using Windows 11. After some discussion of options, I’m getting a new computer! My husband will put it together, install Windows 11 on it and then we’ll transfer my stuff from my current one to the new. HOORAY – AGAIN.

I just finished writing a letter to the Sebastian County Road Department in Greenwood, telling them how pleased we are with the work they did. I’m hoping the letter will help the men who did the work and the department as a whole.

I hope the weather is good – or at least tolerable – where you are. Stay safe and warm.

I read your blog to my husband every day and he says you are a real person. And the sense that you discuss things from daily life that we to deal with. Not the exact same thing. No snow here but there are other things that we can relate with. Thank you, Linda for sharing your life.

Wow. You just made my day! THANKS. Yes, I’m a real person – for better or worse. I feel close to the readers of my blog and try to start out each morning with real communication, and then share things in other posts that I find and think are wonderful. I’m glad that you enjoy the morning ‘letter’. I’m glad to hear you don’t have snow yet. Thanks so much for your comment, and I look forward to hearing from you often. Linda

I feel the same as, Anonymous. I am so happy to read of your adventures and how you share the ups and downs of life (all handled very positively, I might add). You have inspired me to do more arts and crafts at home. I take an art class once a month with my 40+ year old daughter (she works at an art studio), but I want to do more at home.
No snow here this time around though my lifelong friend in WV says they got over a foot of snow! Go figure.

Oh, thanks so much, Sheila. I feel close to the people who read my blog, so I try to start each morning with a ‘letter’ just chatting about what’s happening. I’m really glad to know you enjoy it. I’m glad you’re doing more arts and crafts, and hope they bring you as much joy as mine do to me. I think they make life so much richer. Re the snow – we’ll go to the doc and then stock up. It looks like we’ll probably get snowed in this time. I just hope the trees and tree branches don’t implode into the driveway, making us chain saw our way down to the road this time. Stay safe and warm. The snow is due to start Thursday evening and continue into Friday here. Oh, joy.

I read up on that Windows 11 thing too, and I have been one of those die-hard Windows 10 people, but I plan to update soon. I’m pretty sure my laptop can support it. Just about every time I turn it on, it asks me to update to Windows 11. All this time I just haven’t wanted to have to learn new things, which you always have to do when you update/upgrade. But I don’t want to be without tech support or be open for hacking either, so that’s one of my goals for this week.

I wish us both the best of luck with the changeover. I’m asking my husband to get the new computer completely running so I can test it before I switch. I’m still dreading it. I don’t learn as fast as I used to. Let me know how yours goes. Fingers crossed.
