Finally up and having my cup of coffee.....finally thinking about the day ahead and things to do. Need to go to the bank, need to get gas...the dreaded go get gas! I still hate doing this task even though it has been almost 1 year that I have been driving to the gas pump and staring at it for a minute or two before it all kicks in. Maybe part of the issue is that I only need to get gas once a month...this is the same tank of gas that The Brother Alan put it the day he left (March 17th). I can not help it, putting gas in the car and I have a mental block. Gas rant over.
I wish I could be more tech savvy. Using a computer or tablet or cell phone does mean you know what you are doing. Example....last week as I was thinking ...when did Denny change the batteries in the smoke detectors.... the one in the kitchen began to beep. Great. I was having another "first to do". I climbed on the step ladder, ( holding my breath as this is right next to the tea cup display) after a brief tug and pull, got the battery out inserted a new one and then what? nothing happened. So I tried another battery and I heard a beep but the push to test button did not work. After a half hour I thought I think it is time to check with Son. After a brief conversation all was well. This morning.... the living room TV remote did not work. Funny as it was working up to bedtime last evening! New batteries inserted and still only the volume worked. A call to Cox and Bridget talked me through the solution. Why am I re-setting the remote after a few months? "It can happen" was the reply. Okay, now I know what to do the next time. Why can't they just give instruction booklets anymore?
Moving along now that I am tech savvy for the day.
I managed to get more tatted and have only 2 more sections to complete. Seems that I had a few too many distractions yesterday. Wish I could remember what pulled me away...oh well. Today is another day.
I did think about this project
not revealing too much about it yet. It is for someone.... so, this is all I will show right now and not any of the fabric yet.
The days are back into the low to mid 90s...and maybe high 90s by the end of the week. Limited outdoor activity in the garden unless I can encourage myself to get up and out there early. Seems very unlikely at this point. I do need to get a few things taken care of out there.
Well, I feel hungry and think hash browns would be good.... and since the Fairy Chef is absent I guess I will make them myself. It is always a pleasure to have you visit with me. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

You really are having a day. I think hash browns and some tatting should be it for this day. Just relax and breath. big hugs love Lynda Ruth
Enjoy your hash browns! Tech stuff can be so annoying.
I am not tech savvy at all either.
It has warmed up here finally. In the 60's and sunny. Daffodils blooming across the street. :D
Hi Gracie: I too had hashbrowns crispy with onions, nothing else just hashbrowns, yummy.
I am in awe of your tatting, it is lovely.
So sorry you are having such problems with batteries, we change all batteries on everything the first of the year that way we do not forget one of them.
I hope it cools down a little for you this week.
Blessings

I would be useless at doing some of these tasks gracie . I would have to get a odd jobs man in every week.
Your doing so well my friend . Enjoy your hash browns , hugs.
I think it's a rule. When one battery doesn't work any longer, some others will follow. And when one bulb stops working, some others will follow. Not very funny.
I hope the hash browns were good :)))
My problem with technology is fixing things that only have problems once in a while. I need to repeat things I learn many times before I remember. Do check how old your detectors are, they should be replaced a lot more often than people do.
I think that you deserve those hash browns - technology can be a right pain in the neck sometimes.
Glad that you are getting to grips with all the techy stuff! The tatting is a nice treat to reward yourself with.
Technology and me do not mix at all, and i'm with you on instructions, why do they think we all want to read 'how to' online. I guess it does saved the planet though with less paper waste.
Enjoy your hash browns! Tech stuff can be so annoying.

I don't like getting gas either...but then I have to do it even less frequently, maybe two or three times a year! (I don't do a lot of driving.)
I just got to taste hash browns for the first time about a week ago. They are delicious, will you make me some as well?
