45 Good and SimpleThings
Today R tried to go onto the internet without a firewall and virus protection and came up with 25 trojan horses (I'm not kidding). Our hard drive is FRIED because he lost our virus definitions and firewall software.
So I'm typing this post on a friend's computer. I won't be blogging again until we resolve this issue. Anyone who's into Astrology knows Mercury has been retrograde since July 4 and will be until September 4. That means glitches in communications (computers, wrong phone calls, missing emails and letters, bad orders, misunderstandings, and all sorts of things like that the wazoo). Today is an excellent example for me.
For my last post before I have to hang it up for awhile, I thought I'd leave this list with an invitation for anyone to add things to it if you like. I'd love to read your additions. Back when I can to read everyone's blog and write out my thoughts here. I'm going to miss everyone. Bye for now.

Getting a package delivered for you.
A stack of new library books and a free afternoon.
Waking up early on the weekend and all the kids are still asleep.
Listening to the birds with the first cup of coffee on the above morning.
I loved that list. And yes, I smiled and felt better. I've seen it before, but sometimes I think a repeat is nice. :)
Thanks for sharing it! And we'll miss reading what you have to say!
I'd add snow days. Good luck with your PC, and thanks for a lovely post.

Thinking of you
Thanks everyone for your visits. I really appreciate it. Finally got the hard drive reformatted and the spy sweep software installed so spyware and adware don't bring down the computer again...at least for awhile.
