I've posted an update on Donna, Ed's wife.

Please follow THIS LINK to read the update.

Hi, friends,

I've enjoyed catching up today. I can't believe I didn't turn on my computer for 4 days - my goodness! How time flies.

I've had a quiet week after being very busy and getting overtired on Tuesday - it ended up that two people had to have doctor trips, so I drove over 50 miles Tuesday. And, I paid dearly for that slip up.  I was exhausted until midday today.

Y'all have a good rest of the day.

Hi everyone on a calm and sunny 36 degree morning here in South Carolina.  We should see 55 degrees here briefly this afternoon but sunny all day.  The housekeeper is due today and Pat and I plan on going to the Bar-B-Q restaurant we visited a couple of weeks ago for a big lunch and Pat won't have to cook today.  It is sort of becoming a habit for us to eat a big meal at noon on cleaning day and leaving the kitchen in a clean status, not that it is dirty the rest of the time, but everything is nice and shiny and clean.  I spent a good part of the day yesterday copying files onto the thumb drive only to discover they seem to have disappeared this morning.  So I will have to repeat the work today but use a different thumb drive. 

Janet, if you have a special USB cable that fits into Darrel's camera just plug it in and then open the Windows Explorer (File Manager) on your computer and the camera should show up as a separate drive (like D or E and probably will be identified as Kodak or whatever type of camera he has).  Then click on that and you should see the picture files.  Just highlight all of those files and copy and then on the folder (probably Pictures) on your C drive click on it and paste and the files should be transferred.  If the camera just has a micro card and not the cable, you just remove it from the camera and insert it into the micro card reader on your computer and the process is the same as it will also show as a separate drive.  I hope this makes sense and is helpful.  The card can usually be removed from the camera by pressing in on it briefly and that releases it so it can be pulled out. In rereading your message it sounds like you had the camera connected to the computer so just follow what I said above about finding the drive letter in the file manager. 

Pat, sure hope the "Showstopper" fixed any problems you have been experiencing.  It seems these computers require quite a bit of maintenance.  Of course, they are very complicated devices.  Hope the snow has now stopped up your way.  Like I told Janet, if there is anything I can help you with on the computer you know I will be very happy to try to lend a hand.  There is a lot I don't know about computers but have used them for over 30 years now.  I saw your note about Ed's wife Donna and will include her in my prayers. 

Ruth Ann, it sounds like the Ruth Ann taxi service was pretty busy this week.  Glad to see you posting again.

Just a brief note to Larry now, as I am to go to my hairdresser soon.  I removed the card from Darrel's camera and inserted it into my computer--that much, I did right!    So when I get back home, I will follow your instructions (after copying them down!) and hope to see those photos pop up!  Thanks so much, my friend!  God bless you!

Fine, Janet!  and then......  I'll be waiting. 

Jeanne, please don't hold your breath!   

I got them!  He had photos on there from our Ecuador and Adriatic trips, over 300 of them.  Some are really nice!

That's great Janet!

Well Janet, 300 might be a little more than I'd like to handle!   

Hi everyone on another beautiful morning with a cloudless sky and the sun shining.  It is a chilly 34 degrees this morning and only to get to 57 this afternoon.  Pat and I did enjoy the Bar-B-Q lunch yesterday.  Her shoulder and back are giving her a lot of pain so was glad she didn't need to bother with supper last night.  I got a couple of TV dinners that perhaps we can have tonight to spare her again tonight or I will put together a salad.  There is nothing on the schedule for today.  Scott's washing machine isn't working so he may come out sometime today to do some laundry.  I did get the files copied from Pat computer onto a memory stick and then transferred to my desktop computer.  I will take one more care look at her laptop this morning and then if I have everything ready will do the factory reset and begin the process of restoring the computer to what she is used to.  That will be my main activity for the day. 

Janet, good work on the pictures.  I thought of one other thing I should have mentioned and that is being sure you can see a thumbnail of the actual pictures and that is to change the view in the file manager to a small or large size.  Your computer may already be set to do this but if not just click on the "View" menu and go from there.  On most files, except pictures and graphics, I prefer the "Details" setting.

Jeanne, that would be a horrendous job to code up over 300 pictures.   

Hi, friends,

It's been a quiet day today after a very busy one yesterday. My sister in law's foot is much worse, so we had to make an unplanned visit to the doctor. She will be spending almost all her time in bed until she goes back next Tuesday for treatment and an assessment. The doctor even ordered a visiting nurse come daily to change her dressings and report to the doctor.

Now, y'all have a good rest of the day.

Ruth Ann

Ruth Ann, is your sister in law diabetic and the foot problem is because of that?  Doesn't really matter I guess, why she's having trouble when it's time to pray for her.  I'm just always curious...  maybe I should say nosey.   

Hi everyone on another beautiful and sunny Sunday morning in South Carolina.  It is currently 36 degrees but is expected to hit 68 this afternoon.  I will be going to church by myself this morning as Pat just isn't feeling up to getting out.  She had a pretty miserable day yesterday with what appears to be a full-fledged fibromyalgia attack.  She said she ached all over her body.  I will pick up something to bring home for our main meal today and she won't need to cook today.  I got quite a bit done on Pat's computer resetting yesterday although it took most of the day just to get the Windows 10 reloaded.  There is still a lot to do but it is now online and virus protected and I am ready to load back files and programs on it.  I hope to make good progress on that today and then finish up tomorrow. 

I woke up early this morning and stayed in bed and read all of my email and then the message boards.  I am going to pass on individual comments today.

Time to start a new "Thoughts".
