sunday morning my laptop woke up with a dark screen.
i thought it might have been stuck in hibernate
because the light on front kept blinking like it does before it goes to sleep.
so i went online...on sam's comp...and tried all sorts of remedies.
no luck.
yesterday morning i took my laptop to the hospital.
hopefully i'll hear from them SOON with a diagnosis.
i hope it's nothing serious.
my laptop's about 8 years old...running windows xp.
i like xp. it lets me be in charge!

the one i'm on right now...sam's computer...runs vista.
vista treats you like an idiot...like you have no idea what you're doing.
or maybe it's just because i'm so used to MY computer...
where all my files are...my folders. my programs. my desktop.
my pictures. my scheme. my theme.
my stickers all over the cover.
my stickers all over the cover.
oh well. i'm whining. get over it.
HEY!! if sam & i didn't each have our own laptop...
then i wouldn't be here...telling my tale of woe!

so i don't have access to my latest pictures...
only the ones i still had on the camera.
i know...back up! back up!
i DO backup on an external hard drive...but not as often as i should.
it's been a couple of weeks. :/

~no phone~no internet~no stress~
(i found some older pictures i had saved on discs...from when we stayed at these parks before...)
first stop will be Suwannee River State Park.
you might remember...this is the park where the
Suwannee & the Withlacoochee Rivers meet...
where Balanced Rock hangs over the Suwannee, along one of the trails.

...where a tired & worn out Hackberry butterfly hitched a ride on sam's back while we hiked...
after Suwannee, our NEXT stop will be Florida Caverns State Park.
we visited there about seven years ago.
at that time we only went into the caverns...we didn't walk the trails.

| underground...in the caverns |

so...where ever this coming week takes you...
what ever you do...what ever you celebrate...if anything at all...
hanukkah...christmas...new years.
whether you're dealing with snow...blizzards...rain...freezing temps or summer heat...
may your life be filled with unexpected magical moments!
