I’m back!!!

I couldn’t connect to the WIFI avalable in the flat that we rented for 10 days in Barcelona so I have a lot of catching up to do.  My two kids had no problem connecting with their Macs; but there was some sort of incompatibility with windows and a Dell program on my computer.  Believe me […]

Five and change…?

Every once in a while I respond to a blogging challenge.  Writing is a little more time consuming than photography – unless you count chasing cars with reindeer ears and red noses (on the grill) – the nose not the antlers – they are on the roof somewhere….I need a photo for the heading “silly”
