Mac Attack

Today I gave in and bought the Macintosh laptop computer I have been drooling over for months. I stopped in to the MacAuthority store on my way downtown and they happened to have a second-hand MacBook Pro with a 17" screen for a price I couldn't pass up (I had been looking at new ones). I am so happy to have a Mac again and I am amazed by all the cool things that have been added to the system since I bought my G3 in 1999. 

I also can now use our wireless DSL connection anywhere in the house and that will make it so much easier to keep up with my e-mail and this Blog. There is software included to do just about anything, including iMovie, so I am looking forward to editing together my home movies and being able to watch them on DVD.

Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful holiday today. My sisters Susan & Christine, my brother Lou and brother-in-law Eddie all came over for an early dinner. It isn't very often that all of us make it into the same room, so it was a real treat for me to have everyone together. 

We had spiral ham and lamb chops, with my mother's famous (to us) au gratin potatoes, asparagus, and all the trimmings. It was hard to pry a few colored eggs away from Rachel to make deviled eggs so here is a photo for posterity.

The Easter Bunny was good to Rachel, too. I may even be able to sneak a Peep or two for myself...

Got Snow?

Rachel had a Snow Day from school today and in a departure from our usual dusting we actually got almost 4 inches of snow this morning. It was really beautiful, with a bright sunny day to go with it.

I am glad I let Rachel (and Doug) out to play right after breakfast 'cause it was all gone by 1:00 pm. (smile)
