Early and dark morning here and chilly....in the 50s to start but as it did yesterday it will be warmer by afternoon, in the 70s. Socks on my feet this morning for sure.
My finally Post Office visit yesterday and a complaint. I mailed a large manila envelope to my niece Tonya...clearly addressed and guess what? It was delivered to me! It was never cancelled. So I brought it to the Post Office and told them to handle it and get it to Tonya. they were puzzled?! But mail did arrive from The Brother Alan and Lisa last week
Yes--- a Web Camera so we can Skype. Simple enough. Plug it into the computer and get account and settings and you are ready. Not so! Last night we decided to try it out. We could see one another but I could not hear him...yes, he heard me.
My goodness we had so many laughs....and we won't repeat some of the words out of Alan's mouth...I could understand even if not hearing! Anyway, he finally called me via phone so we could chat. Now, I totally blamed his end of the set up for the missing volume.....probably something from my end! Tonight Honey (Keith) will stop by to check it out for me. While we chatted, he and Lisa opened the gift I sent as I told them they did not have to wait until Christmas unless they wished to. So it was fun and nice to see them open the box. Lisa bought a new dress and she even modeled it.She will be wearing it this weekend to a party...no matter what, we had fun....now if we can only fix this....
Today will be a quiet day here...laundry and hopefully a tatted snowflake! I will try a different pattern and I plan to succeed. I checked with my friend last night and the procedure went well....now to wait for results...so please continue to keep good thoughts. It has been nice chatting but the washing machine refuses to work without me. Thank you for your kind words and most of all your friendship.

I love Skype! Except for when I don't. We have it and Skype with our son/DIL/grandson in Kansas every weekend. About a year ago the sound on our end on our computer went out. We tried everything we knew and followed all of the directions from Skype tech support, but no fix. So we switched to using our tablet for communication. It's better than nothing, but it puzzles us that the computer just won't support Skype sound any more. One of life's little mysteries I guess! haha
I hope Keith helps you out today Gracie. Alan looks like he was getting all worked up!
Sounds like a fun time last night. take care and relax today. hugs
Good luck getting it figured out and the poor post office. There must be a lot of that going around.
So great that you have Skype now. Isn't it wonderful to see someone when talking to him?
Skype can be a little tricky to set up right...sounds like you had fun though. It's less fun if you try to set up a conference call for work and it takes half an hour to get everyone in!
