Karin de Haas – Funda Altincekic Aysel

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.

Shout-out to my friend Marsha, who had a scare yesterday but is doing fine today. I’m thinking of you. If I were there, I would be hovering, driving you nuts, so be thankful we live so far from each other. :0)

Shout-out to Cathy, who will finish Week 3 of her radiation and chemo treatment soon. I hope you are still weathering this well, Sweet Friend.

I started the etching on the glassware yesterday. The etching cream worked, but the images are much more delicate and fainter than I pictured. I’m going to finish the 10 glasses following the directions, and then I’m going to ‘play,’ seeing what I can do to punch things up. I have a Dremel tool that I’m planning to use to add names, maybe some outlines, and some free-form stuff in-between the stencil images. We’ll see.

My husband and I have been having problems seeing each other’s computer on the network, sharing files, etc. I typed for my husband while we spent about an hour on chat with Microsoft experts yesterday, but are now referred to Level 2 experts who are due to call us today at around 11:30 to see if they can help us. We’ve tried everything we know how to do, so we’re hopeful that these people will make the changes we need to get us to the place we would like. Fingers crossed.

I hope you’re having a good Thursday.
