Rolling My Eyes
CAN YOU BELIEEEEEEVE IT?????
My camera reader/writer quit working today. I put the camera chip in the reader, plugged the reader into the computer, and the computer prompt popped up with, "Unknown Device" . . . Arghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! After trying over and over, I'm convinced the reader/writer has headed south on me!
Anyway, I had dewy pictures from this morning's fog and drizzle, rosebud pictures and one beautifully opened coral rose, Chirper (who got into BIG mischief), and a few scattered Sushi and me pics. I won't elaborate and maybe will have a new reader/writer soon! Then I can "share" with you!
JoAnn is doing okay after her fall. Their mom has a ramp for her wheel chair that extends from the front porch into the driveway. At the end of the ramp there is a sharp drop because nothing was built to make the cement and board transition gradual. She went down on her "good knee" (the one knee cap that wasn't replaced) and elbow. She will have a few nasty scabs, for sure! I met her here with two ice packs for her knee and elbow, Neosporin, Teflon bandages, and tape. She had pain pills and took one before going to sleep. A rough night (she said the scrapes sting), but she IS getting around slowly today. Now it's MY turn to care for her.
What's so sad is that their brother, James (who was here last year), fell in our garage and hurt his finger. When he got home his knee (knee cap surgery, also) bothered him and it ended up he had a cracked knee cap replacement part (device?). What are the chances of both sister and brother coming from Tacoma/Seattle and hurting their knees? ONLY IN OUR HOUSE!!!!
Well, Jesse has pretty much put the kibosh on me going anywhere if there are groups of people. That means: No shopping (ever); no church (CDs or DVDs only); and no restaurants during regular busy hours. I think that will pretty much mean me watching church TV, while eating a takeout Burger King Whopper and, possibly, shopping online! The H1N1 flu has us concerned; PLUS, the fact there is a regular strain of flu creeping through Oklahoma. I feel like I'm in a bubble at times, but also agree this is temporary and soon this, too, shall pass!
Meanwhile, I'll be posting pictureless blogs and taking meals in "the dining room" (not really!), and leading the life of luxury - all the while reclining on my plush bed. SO BORRRRRR-INNNNNNG!
I was in the tub the other day soaking (where I do some of my best thinking!!!) and thought about how every 14 days, 4 - 5 of the days were lousy days. I quickly caught myself and said, "NO! Every 14 days, 9 - 10 are great days!"
It's all about perspective!
Be Blessed ~

You are so right! Perspective counts for a lot. I am glad JoAnn didn't appear to break anything. Hope we can see pictures soon. Prayers and hugs to you.
Amen, sister, AMEN! It IS all about perspective and I find yours to be wonderfully refreshing!

That's right! Perspective makes a difference.
That is a strange coincidence on the hurt knees- ouch.
I agree with Jesse, live in isolation for a while.
Ditto on the living in isolation even though what sounds like fun (being home) turns boring pretty quickly. Since I've yet to read anything boring on your blog, I don't see that being a HUGE issue. You may want to keep some knee pads by your front door for visitors.
That stinks about your card reader! Is that what you just replaced not too long ago (or was that a cord?)
Hope JoAnn feels better soon! Take care & Happy Mother's Day!
@Bethrusso -
No, you are correct, it is rarely boring around here. Between the amount of people and pets . . . someone/thing is always garenering my attention. "Knee pads by the door" - now, THAT'S a good idea!

The camera's cord quick working. That's when I learned a "port" in the camera can be damaged - it wasn't the cords I was buying.
So, I was told about the reader/writer device to put the picture chip into and that's what isn't working when I plug it into the computer. I'm assuming the stick on the reader/writer is bad. AND . . . I've always been super careful plugging and unplugging things. Maybe I have more strength than I realize, or *maybe* they are made to become obsolete and break quickly, so people have to pay for a new one . . . who knows?
Do you still have the cable that connects your camera to the computer? It will work that way if the dock isn't working for your card. I've found sometimes mine just doesn't work and at other times it will!
Still praying for you!

The port within the camera is bad. I can't plug ANYTHING into it. And, thank you so much for your continued prayers. I so appreciate you!
