Mcgrath sisters talk

  David's computer has been getting slower and slower to the point that some functions had actually stopped.  We've spent time chatting with Bell/MTS. I have spent several hours with The Geek Squad, including finding out that our yearly payment didn't go through last August when there was a problem with David's credit card. Then there was time with PlayNow.com support as that site was giving us the most problem.  Loren re-booted our modem--didn't help.  So we went out yesterday and bought a laptop for him.  We took the old computer along in case they would be able to do a data transfer right away.  Unfortunately, the computer had to be ordered in, so we brought the old one home.  He plugged it in and it started working as though there was no problem.  Despite all of the strategies we tried over the past week all that appears to have been needed was a re-boot of the computer itself. He's happy, but we've contracted to buy a new one with Windows 11,...

  Hi to both, It seems that issues with the computer tend to return and then return and then return. No explanations fore coming except to smile and carry on. So the Bell Tech arrived to my door at 0930 am this morning which was nice since I was told the visit would take place on Tuesday sometime between 8 am to 5 pm and that I must be home. A jolly man, thank goodness, as I was prepared for another battle which I had had the day before with the man on the phone from Bell who was scheduling the visit. I had not had any internet since Friday and i was a bit anxious to say the least as bills were due and after a visit to the Bank where i was told they could not do bills that were e transfers. Long story short, I can log into internet right now - for how long no one knows as it seems to have mind of its own. I still have to call my server back to discuss a few points. That will take place later sometime. It becomes very confusing when I have a server who I call initially with issues, ...

  As a money maker this one was a dismal failure.  I brought home $85 more than I took with me.  I was up at 7:15, hit Tim Horton's at Deacon's Corner for coffee and breakfast, and was into Lorette by 8:30, driving directly into the rising sun most of the way. Busy, busy setting up, and then had a very nice time socializing with each other.  Every once in awhile a customer would come through, but those times were rare. How does one evaluate such a sale?  The socialization was wonderful.  I got rid of a lot of small items that have been hanging around forever.  I put them all in a large basket and offered one item free with any purchase.  I offered each of the members of the Wednesday group one as a gift,  as well.  My stuff was priced very low.  At the end of the sale  I donated my large Angel figurine to the seniors' centre.  One of the ladies in the group approached me while we were breaking down to talk about the l...

  So tomorrow you are both off to Christmas Craft Shows and I shall be thinking of you both. There are some around our area as well, but i choose to stay home. i have been cleaning up and enjoying the lights I have set up in the dining room and living room. And  I have Christmas music playing ....so all is well. 🎄🎼 ♥️ 🎶. Have fun. XX

  Glad you both are on board for another chat. I was wanting an excuse to make some Nuts and Bolts so after shopping for the ingredients this morning, and once home, the deed was done ....much to my amazement. What is it that we always say.... it is the anticipation.  That is so darn right 😁    One of two jars filled and the extra put into a white container - to taste along the way to Dec 8 😁 Take care my sisters XX

 

  I’ll try once again to post a picture. If all else fails I know Pati will do it😊. For some reason my pictures will not resize for the blog. I can email them but not post them☹️   It still looks bad but I will try. If it doesn’t work?!  Shoot! OK. It didn’t work. One email coming up.  I did publish it and look but it didn’t work, so I unpublished ☹️. Other than that life goes on. I was going to stay home for the rest of the week but I realized the craft sale was on Saturday. I will go in for the sale but there is no way I will stay for the Parade of Lights. I will not drive that piece of s••t in the dark!  I actually love the parade of lights, but not this year. One email coming up♥️♥️♥️
