MY COMPUTER HARD-DRIVE CRASHED!!!!

Hi everyone,

This is just a quick note.  I had a post all set for last Tuesday. Guess what happened? My computer hard-drive crashed last  Monday. So I had to take it in to the computer store to have it fixed. I just got it back today. Everything looks good now...but I just wanted to let you know where I've been for the last few days.. NOWHERE :) :) I'm so happy to have my computer BACK!!!!

That's all the news from Oregon today. Extra bonus love and hugs, Heather :)

p.s. (added at 2:43 p.m.  PST) I have about 30 memory verse cards I've got to get written out and decorated for tomorrow. I'm WAY behind. I'm in a women's Bible study. There are 10 ladies and three v erses so far... Yikes. I'd better get going ...FAST

Also, we didn't lose anything on the computer. Praise God. Anytime I download photos, I ALWAYS make copies on my USB drive right away ...just in case ;) :) :)

Computer Viruses & Other Stuff....Arrggghh!!!

Mama Kitty somehow managed to climb up the wall and sit where you see her here.  She was pampering herself...and my dad and I jokingly think she was trying to get away from this male cat...not sure about that. It was just so odd and funny at the same time...to see her here :)

Hi everyone...oh, I thought computer nightmares were over.  Well, last night our computer was attacked by what I can best describe as a rogue cloud trojan virus thing...multiple boxes one after the other with the name "Think Point" on them...NOt sure how it happened..but it took us over 4 hours to fix...and  I ended up getting sick, too...still feel sick this morning and am staying home from work today only!!!

So I just wanted to warn you. I don't know much about computer viruses except they're mean and nasty.  If you get any email from me with no subject line, DO NOT ANSWER IT. I always leave a subject line in my emails. Also if I send a link to a website...and that's if...99% of the time I'll post it here...I will ALWAYS leave an explanation.

One of the things I did was to delete Picasa from my computer.  It's not clear if that was a source for the problem. However, I'm using another photo editing software exclusively now. It takes longer, but it's so much safer!!!  The first photo of Mama Kitty is me practicing adding text with this particular software program....and everything works great. This second photo was just random to see how many photos I can upload...As it turns out, I can upload quite a few and select which ones to add to my blog post ;) :)

Now I'm just practicing with photo and text placement on my blog. This photo of the vintage truck was taken sometime earlier this summer.

That's it for the moment. It's really cold today and I'm starting to freeze...so it's probably time to turn the heater on :) :) :) :) Oh....because of the problems with my computer...it really messed up my photo challenge stuff for the last three weeks...so I'll be playing a lot of catch up this week. So keep your eyes out for that :) :) :)  Thanks for praying for me, hanging in there with the computer grumblies...and for encouraging me in prayer and your friendship. I'm one blessed young lady for knowing all of you !!! That's the news from Oregon today. Love and hugs, Heather :)
