Long Time, No See...

I can't believe that I have been away from my home on the blog for so long! You have all probably thought that I have dropped off the face of the earth. You don't know how close you are. I was without my COMPUTER for over a week!!! How does one live without their computer in this day and age??? LOL

My son had to take my computer all apart, scan for viruses, back every single thing up to his own computer, and then gradually put all of mine back together again, including reformatting the hard drive... You see, we got a phone call from our ISP owner one night telling us that our computer was setting off alarms in his office---it had picked up a virus!

I am so lucky to have a son that could take care of this for me so that I didn't have to spend an arm and a leg paying to have it fixed by a pro. BJ really knows how to tear a computer apart and scare his poor mom to death looking at her computer "guts" laying all over the place, but he has it working again.

Right now I am at my dd's shop, and just wanted to let you all know that I am alive and well. Although poor BJ still has lots of document files and photo files, etc. to transfer back onto my computer, my email and my internet access are back again. Thank God!

I'll post more later when I'm not at work. The family is doing pretty well all things considered. My new grandsons will be coming for another visit over Mothers Day weekend, and I will get to meet them for sure this trip!!! They will come permanently June 16.

Blubber Bloggers is increasing in numbers all the time...we are up to 50 members! Check out the BBBlog if you are needing support in weight loss/fitness, because these ladies are such a wonderful support, and several have been a godsend helping me out while I had no computer access.

Till later...Kathy

I'm really glad you're back! I'm pretty much up and running but somehow with the DSL shutdown my wireless went crazy. For about 3 months I've been able to move the laptop around with me (blog a little here and there or get a draft started, or check the emails) wherever I happened to be working in the house. Now I'm stuck in the office to "compute" so that's been a bit of a hindrance.

All the techno problems aside, I would like to know how best to encourage you. What prayer needs do you have that I can lift up? I know REST is a biggie--got that covered! Anyway, just wanted to check in.

Hi there!! Boy, I've been without my computer before for several days in a row and it simply drives me crazy! I don't know what to do with myself. :) I never realized how much of my life revolves around this technology before. (Kinda pathetic of me, huh? ;o) I'm glad you have someone who can help you with your computer! My younger brother was always great at that -- but now I live 7 hours away from him....sooooo, we have to do it ourselves. Ha! That's a joke. :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Welcome back. What would we do without our computer literate children and husbands?!
I know you can't wait to meet your new grandchildren. Hope all goes well.

As a homeschool family, we have had to learn to homeschool "Through It All." Illnesses, deaths, job losses, financial struggles, prodigal children, marital and family problems, and trying to build and now rebuild a family homeschool business have tried to take their toll on us. But "through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus; I've learned to trust in God..." Just as our little granddaughter trusted us and held our hand throughout her short but precious life, so we trust and hold onto the hand of our Heavenly Father, through it all..... I share our struggles as well as our joys in hope that others will find encouragement to persevere through whatever life may have in store, and to know that they are not alone... ~~~Kathy~~~
