Good afternoon,
A bit of a frustrating day today. Actually it started last night when Margriet came to bed. She announced that her computer was not working. Sure enough. All it would do at start up was to tell her there was a floppy disk in the drive and following the directions it gave - still didn't work! To complicate matters more, I could not get on line with this machine. This kept rejecting my password. Finally got a hold of the ISP technical help line and they said to reset my password. I had a different password than the screen showed. My password had no where near the number of spots to fill as the screen showed. The tech said that they camouflaged it so it could not be copied. I didn't know that, so didn't want to mess things up more than they already were. After resetting the password, everything on my machine worked honky-dory! At least for getting on line.
I finally decided to clean out Margriet's computer, so took off the shell and got out the air bottle. After that process was complete - it still didn't work! I got online to hp finally and explained what the problem was. Doesn't sound the best. I have some tests to run on it and see what happens. Then I will get back to them so they can get back to me again.
At the moment, I am wrapping up the last of the packages to send out. Hoped to get them out yesterday, but that was not to be so. When these are gone - that is the end of it. Of course some of the addresses are on Margriet's computer and we are not able to access them. Thought we had them on a floppy, but we cannot access it on here correctly. So ..... Margriet is spending some time on the web, looking them up.
One of the packages was way smaller than any boxes we have on hand. I cut a bigger one down, but made some cuts wrong and ended up smaller-izing it too much. Had to add a piece back into the box again! I also have one box to make a little bigger too. Guess it will even out some. So it goes.
We did get over to Bitsie's yesterday and had a really nice chat. It really was the first time since she was here that I had a chance to do that. I asked her what she would miss of this country most and her answer was the open spaces. She really likes that. She also is in the process of packing up, so we helped her by taking some of her excess Dutch supplies along. Margriet was thrilled to get them, mostly spices and like that, since she cannot get them here. I will probably benefit most from it when I am forced to eat the resulting food that is prepared. They also will be taking back her car, RAV4, with them. It is far cheaper to buy it her and ship it than to buy a new car there. It will be large by the standards there and of course I had to tease her a bit about being one of those Crazy Americans with a big car! Hope she enjoys it.
I was surprised at how easy it was for me to get in and out yesterday. Even with the heavy snow. She just chugged right in and we were ready to go. I do thing the 4-wheel drive kicked in a bit and the van dragged bottom on the entire way in and out.
Light snow coming down at the moment, but nothing exciting. Expect we have our share for the next couple of days. Time to get to other things.
In Christ My Saviour,
