Day Three of Vacation- Monday

I forgot to mention that our computer crashed on Saturday. I tried a number of things on and off over the weekend to fix it but finally decided that I lost the hard drive. Too bad, because we had planned on getting a new computer in the next few weeks anyway and giving the old one to Missy. Now, Missy is out of luck! (don't feel too bad for her though, she does have a laptop) Missy's laptop was running veryyyy slowwww because of some software that had been loaded on for her previous job. I removed that, along with some other stuff that had been loaded onto it that she never uses and lo and behold it moves a lot quicker now!
There is never a good time to lose your computer. I back-up files from the computer every couple of months- which by the way, should be done alot more often, if you save a lot of docs. or pics. But there is still so much information that we lost. We went out this morning and bought a new one at Best Buy. What a mess to disconnect all the wiring. Had alot of new stuff to reconnect and register, etc. Not what I was wanting to do today at all! The new computer came with Windows 7. Just a note to all you "PC"s out there, Windows 7, does not come with email software (Outlook or Outlook Express). Who would have thought to ask! I'm in the process now of looking for email software that I want to use. I'm also noticing some little things as well. I can no longer cut and paste pics on this blog. Anyway, it will take awhile to get back in the groove.
Phil spent most of the evening, downloading all of his CD's back into the computer. I must say, that downloading the music to the new computer only takes seconds, where the old computer took minutes! Phil's really enjoying that!

I made 4 loaves of fruit cake using that flavoring from King Arthur. Wow, what an awesome flavor! Not like any fruitcake that I have ever tasted before.
