New Laptop

This past Thurs I got a new laptop. Yup. Brand new. I messaged my son at noon and he brought one home for me that night. I said it had to have a touch screen because I am spoiled. Now I have the fun of setting up a new computer and figuring out how to find things. First off, it has facial recognition. This simply means that when I open the lid and press the on button, it starts up. No password needed. And I have it upstairs in my new workspace. I met with my Sat group there this morning and had a great time visiting with sisters and friends from 4 different countries. 

Last week we (I) impulsively suggested we watch a movie to talk about and mentioned The Dressmaker. Highly recommend it. It is quirky, sad, funny, and unexpected. Next week we agreed on The Dig. That is based on a true story practically in my sister's backyard in Suffolk England. Then I suggested Agatha Christie the Truth of Murder for the following week. 

And why am I suddenly watching movies? Because I can. I found these on Netflix but not every country has the same choices Then I discovered movies on youtube. This on my new laptop upstairs in my new workspace. My Sweet Husband suggested I wait until after the summer before moving my 100 boxes of quilting stuff up there. 

Also, I bought a floor lamp. One with a weighted base so it will not tip over on the thick carpet in our living room. Most of the couches are too uncomfortable for my body but I can sit in the leather easy chair. Now I can stitch as I sit there and so I am. This is revolutionary for me. I usually sit here at my desk or table by the computer. After all, I am trying to complete Ella blocks and do the 15 Minutes to Stitch thing every week. 

Today we went next door to wish Great Grandma a happy 92nd Birthday. The girls made a batch of brownies and took her one-piece with 2 candles in it. It was bitterly cold and since I cannot walk that far, I got a ride. The girls made cards and our daughter and the boys showed up with cards and snow gear to go sledding on the hill behind the drive shed.

I completed 2 blocks this week. I have 9 in-process blocks to choose from so bring on the Super Bowl!

 Blessings,

Chris
