Good morning,
We have an inch or so of freezing snow on everything this morning. Started out as freezing rain just before it was time to go to church last night, then changed over to snow sometime after I went to bed. There are several schools closed or running late in the middle to the northeast of Wisconsin. We are just on the border of the mess. The snowplow that went by a few minutes ago was a grader, so they are having some problems with scraping off the road surface. Graders can apply a lot of down pressure to the blade, while a normal truck cannot. Everything outside looks like a black and white photograph again. It is a huge change from Monday night when we came home from church when there were a gadzillion and four stars in a inky black, clear night sky and not a sound anywhere.
The Easter season is upon us. We started with a soup and sandwich supper, followed by services last night. As always, the food was great and I think I ate too much. Had a good time chewing the fat too. As the sanctuary was filling up for the service, Margriet and I were standing near the front talking to a couple of other folks when it felt like someone hit my left eyebrow with a ball-peen hammer. I got a couple of Tylenol from the car, but the ache seemed to stay about the same. As the service started, I told Margriet we were going home. Don’t know where this came from, but really not comfortable at all. The last time this happened was when I was at deer camp during the deer season before I had the stroke. Only then it was 10 times worse. That headache hit as I was walking from the bunkhouse to the cabin the first night at camp. It put me on my knees, blurring my vision, and I think I ate about half a bottle of pain-killers. I went to bed earlier than normal last night and woke up with a mild headache behind my right ear. Popped a couple of pills and that has disappeared.
I finally got around to reinstalling a program from Max Lucado on this machine. It too disappeared when the hard drive died. I had a real problem loading it for some reason yesterday, only to find it would not work this morning. I just uninstalled it and will have to install it once again. It is a slow loader for some reason too, but remember it was an easy load the first time around. Oh well, it is a good and useable program. One part of it I really like, and had a use for yesterday, is entitled "What does the Bible say about _________?" You fill in the blank and it gives you references, both from the Bible and other major authors on the question. Very helpful when doing research. We have the program loaded on all of our computers (eventually this one again too) including the notebook. We use it for our devotions and Bible study when we travel.
I guess Bram is really growing up! He now has his own email address and knows how to use it. Margriet had a chat with Brenda yesterday and it was followed by an email from Bram, in response to one Oma sent to him. I also got into the act, sending him a picture of the Algoma Beach in winter that he swam at when he was here. I got an email back this morning, saying he didn’t remember swimming there. I will send a picture of him swimming. He is learning English, but apologized for writing in Dutch since his English is not very good. Oma had to translate for me - much to her delight. Brenda had sent 6 new pictures of Kalle via email the other day. I got what-for from Oma for not having printed them out yet to take to church last night. Guess I better get after that today!
Margriet made some cherry/chocolate bars for church on Sunday. They really turned out well - very heavy on the chocolate. There were some left in the pan to take home, so put them on the shelf above the coatracks in church while I put my coat on - then left them there! Monday we went to church and they were gone - almost. One of the gals put them into the refrigerator, so the gals who had class Monday night chewed on some more of them, leaving only a couple for us at home. Probably a good thing.
We picked up another USB flash drive while in Green Bay on Tuesday. The one I have been using for "church-like" activities filled up. It took me awhile to figure out what was wrong with the old one. I could download from it, change the file, but could not put it back on again. The expanded file was too bid to store again. The folder for Bible study has gotten very large, so no it is the only one on the old drive and everything else is now on the new one. Expect I will need to divide it again as the files/folder increase in umber and size. Sure beats the old floppy disks or CD’s though.
Time to get Max’s program installed and the day a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
