Posting by using Dashboard

The last two posts were done by email to the blog instead of using the Dashboard, as I'm doing now. It obviously works better for me to sign in and use the Dashboard when leaving a note.

I would like to figure out how to email photos to blog. Unfotunately my "Hello" program is set up to use my other sign in name. Had forgotten this sign in and password, so I started all over, then came back to this one as more of a diary in words while using the other for a diary in photos. That system actually works pretty well for me most of the time. It keeps people interested in the photos from having to wade thru my rambling text, lol.

As I said...gotta run. Make it a GR8 day, all of U out there.

Monday, May 31

Last night I read Chocolat, almost finishing it while John worked on the
dishwasher. He found the problem and did a temporary fix but will need a
part. At least we got two loads cycled thru and no more dirty dishes
stacked up. (I think it would've been easier to hand wash the dishes...but
boys will be boys, even when they are grown men.) Getting back to Chocolat
the book...it is extremely well written. This is one of the few times I'm
glad I saw the movie before reading the book. It also helped to know that
the author switches back and forth between the narrative by Vianne and
Reynaud simply by starting a new chapter. Had I not been told this was the
case by Ann, who loaned me the book, I might've been slow to catch this the
first time it happened. Hope I can get a minute to finish it this
afternoon or evening.

I have a follow up appointment with the surgeon today. Mostly due to
traffic and distance, it is going to eat up the rest of the morning. Hope
to have time to take some photos after the surgeon's appointment across the
street in the hospital's courtyard "Healing Garrden." Lovely flowers are
at their peak of spring blooming season, and the trees are just begging for
my camera lense. Most of the garden is in a raised bed, with decorative
brass plaques.

Time to run!

Saving Grace, the video

Last night we enjoyed Saving Grace.  Upon looking it up on IMBD I noticed there were many movies w/ the same title.  Click on Saving Grace to see info on the one we watched.  It's hilarious, and I think deserves a higher rating than given by viewers on IMDB.  jmho.  Besides, we tend to like best some of the ones that don't do all that well at the box office or even the video store.  If you enjoy a good laugh, excellent acting, a bit of good scenery, and esp. if you love gardening, don't pass this one up!

Happy Memorial Day

Watched coverage on FOX this morning.  Some of our relatives are buried at Arlington.  They fought so that we could have the liberty we enjoy today.  May all remember the many who made the ultimate sacrifice.

"Earth Girls Are Easy"

Last night we watched "Earth Girls Are Easy." With Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, and Jim Carrey in leading roles I would've hoped for something better. It's supposed to be both a comedy and a musical. Too silly and the "musical" part was pathetic, jmho. Oh, well, it was harmless enough and at least when going to the kitchen for snacks or answering a phone there was no need to pause the video because nothing important was there to be missed! (released in 1989, I believe) Skip this one and pick up a good book!

This morning John is off on errands. It's his first time to drive since his stroke, which was almost two weeks ago. The doctor cleared him for this the day he was discharged from the hospital (a week ago yesterday) but I've managed to hold him back this long just to be certain he was really OK. It's so wonderful to watch his steady improvement. Must look after my guy. I love him....

Day Surgery This A.M.

I'm off to the hospital for Day Surgery. Nothing major. We're having a bright sunny day w/ temps just perfect to be out in the neighborhood w/ my camera. Instead, I'll be otherwise occupied. Oh, well, can't be helped. Tomorrow is another day. I'll get out to take some photos then.

Here goes another post by email to my blog.

Testing

Let's see if this post by email system to my blog really works. OK, to be honest, we know it can be done, so the test is to see if I have figured it out.

WOW, I got back in here!!!

I forgot my login and password both. Now I have them again. When will I ever learn that I need to write these things down? :)

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all. Last night we watched "Her Majesty Mrs. Brown." It detailed Queen Victoria and her reign after Albert's death. In viewing movies such as this one, I get interested in more of the history of the time and do a bit of research. Scenery in the movie was wonderful, and the cast was as well. The star is Judi Dench.

Tonight will be a quiet party at home. (~.~)

Troubles logging in once more

I had trouble getting in again tonight. Will get photos up this weekend.

It's been a great day. To top it off my long time good friend called long distance. We hadn't talked for several weeks and made up for lost time with a conversation that lasted almost two hours. That means, it's time to say

g'nite,

Troubles in River City

I could not login tonight. Had correct user name and password, but somehow it didn't work. Cleared cache. I think that might have been the answer. Or not? We'll see tomorrow when I return. Now it's off to view a video. Will report if it is one I could recommend.

Christmas week we watched an older one "Love Actually" because the music fit the season and because I like many in the cast. It was better second time around! Try it, you might like it.

Also rented "King Arthur" but started viewing too late and slept thru too much of it so we'll see it again, hopefully getting off to earlier start.

G'nite,
carolo
