Challenging, Fun and Very Educational


I have Really enjoyed this last week as I've been online with Neil. We've done a whole lot of laughing and some sharing of what's going on in our lives. Lizette is one more step closer to becoming a citizen. I didn't realize there were so many steps in the process. I'm proud that she's up for the challenge. Neil is doing quite well in his work. He finds it interesting with lots of potential.
He's even been trying to teach me how to do some new stuff on the computer that will make my life easier....... if I can ever learn it all. One thing I've discovered about the computer is ............... there is Always MORE.... stuff to learn. I love learning new things about using my computer cause I use it so much and anything I can learn to make it easier and more efficient is GREAT.
For example, I recently learned that if you hold down the (Alt-Key) and then type 167 on your "number keypad" (NOT the numbers at the top of you keyboard) you can make the little degree sign. [ie. bake at 350ยบ]. I know, it's such a little thing but it's stuff like that ...... that makes using the computer more fun. I would love to sit down with someone that knew how to do ALL the things that I'd like to know how to do and just soak it up like a sponge.
Maybe someday when I retire ..... IF.... and when that happens, John and I can take some computer classes. John gets very frustrated when he uses the computer and does only what he has to do. He and I would also love to take a class to learn how to speak Spanish fluently and I still haven't given up on my lifelong desire to learn to play the piano. Well, maybe someday, but today I've got to get to the business at hand.........so that's it for now.
