Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! (belated)

Mood: bewildered and bemused



It's been another month of "I thought I would have more written" etc....

The holidays went mostly very nicely, but technology (our computer) continued to pull some stunts so files, photos, and such needed (some still) reloading and what not. I lost all my Flip Videos library yet again. (Meanwhile one good spot from the holidays is the fun we had with some friends on Hogswatch and the possibility that one of them may be able to reclaim the photos/videos that were reformatted over on the old hard drive at around this point last year. Keeping my fingers crossed that I will have some good news on that in the near future.) Good thing I had uploaded the movies at least to You Tube! (I have also learned that a smartphone is no substitute for a real camera and video recorder.)

This mess-up has amounted to falling somewhat behind on our lesson plans, a condition I hope to have rectified by the end of the week. I am also hopeful that by Monday morning next I will have the scrapbook caught up as well. The vintage one I bought came with only a few pages that are not the same size as the ones I used in the previous
album. I wish there were more standardized sizes. I know there are among modern books, but it would be nice if the makers had taken older books into consideration. So the hunt to find more is on.

We are back to ballet this month! Twirly-whirly has missed it! The prices have gone up tho and the day is now Monday instead of Thursday. I don't like that much, but there's nothing to be done. The Thursday enrollment flagged so they closed the class. We are also back to Library Storytime/ParkPlay and Friday Fun at Madrona Marsh. Gems and Awana have also resumed. So I do have a piece of normal going on. We are still on violin break however. The usual site is not available this month. (I need to get my musician son to tune my cello anyway.)

That's it for now, I suppose.
