No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Let's type this with all thumbs!

My desk top computer is simply giving me a fit which means I may have to call the computer guy to come take a look at it. Ugh! If it isn't one thing, it's another. So, my IT guy, Justin, came by today and showed me how to get connected to the Internet using the laptop. See, here's the thing---I am lousy at using the touch pad to navigate the page and my nails are a bit long for the keys on this machine. It will take some adjusting, so patience, please!

That night when I first got the warning notice must have been for real because even though I have the Norton in place now, which claims to find no spyware or bugs, the downloads have gotten more slow and now, non-existent. I just hate to think about what nastiness invade my machinery, and someone, somewhere, is laughing at me for falling into the trap. Help! Help! The paranoids are after me!

The good news is that I can sit on my crumb-filled bed and use the computer; the bad news is my leg falls asleep from sitting in this awkward position. If it sleeps in the daytime, it will be up all night!!!

Justin and I had dinner together at Longhorn near church and spotted the waitress who used to take care of the gang after Monday morning class when we came in for lunch. She had to be off Mondays to take her hubby to chemo sessions so we missed seeing her. It was great to hug on her and she showed us photos of Frank, how he's putting on some weight now and all that. Patti asked me to tell the others she said "hello" and she misses us! Will do!

It was great spending the time with Justin, since he now barely has time for me. As he told our friend, Cindy, at the grocery store, he has a busy social life! Well, what do you know about that? Justin needed a few items from the store so after dinner we went to Publix and got what he was looking for, plus some extras, of course. That stinker also talked me into buying this V8 product with fruit in it, which he likes to drink, so I can get my daily dose of vegies and fruit. I asked Justin if it was like MonaVie but he didn't think so. I'll certainly give it a try, and if I don't like it, he'll take it off my hands. I'll have a glass in the morning when it's had a chance to get nice and cold.

The other Bible study ladies went to dinner without me since I wanted Justin to myself, They had some comfort food at Cracker Barrel. Judy J. joins us for the dinner portion of the evening but not the class. Maybe some day she will come, too---it's so very interesting a class.

Our discussion tonight was on worship and its value to ourselves and to others, but most especially to our God. If we don't get anything out of worship, it's probably because we aren't putting anything IN to it. My opinion, not necessarily scriptural. Great class!

Well, my leg is snoring up a storm here so I'd better put this computer and my leg to bed for the night. Perhaps by morning my desktop will have finally made a connection with the server or whatever its problem is and I'll be in a full and upright position again. In the meantime, my neck and shoulder massage tomorrow will be most beneficial. Plus the ladies are coming over to paint and scrapbook and then I got to get my haircut.....

Pleasant dreams, all!

I have to agree with your opinion about we having to put something into the worship service. Just because we show up doesn't mean what it should. We need to put our thoughts, words and actions into play.
