… and we’re back on …
I can’t believe it. The Orân, she came back up without a hitch. This is a cause for celebration because you just don’t understand how many times I have had to revive her from near death experiences. She’s mostly in good shape, but she has a loose processor. My computer spends most of its time leaning to one side. I call it the Oran because it is named after something in my book. There have been complete sets of weeks when I couldn’t get her to sit correctly and get back up an running. The fact that she came back up so easily is simply fantastic.
Well, I had an unexpected visitor today. And I wanted to give her credit for a wonderful post on her site about winter. It is a touching remark about peace and snow. I responded to it, because she had left a comment on my site and I felt appreciative, but I liked what I wrote, so I’m going to re-post it here.
Winter is beautiful when it snows. Unfortunately, Tennessee seems to get less and less of it each year. As a teacher, I pray and beg the powers at be to let it snow, just like I did when I was a child, both in hopes of getting out of school. Tennesseans can’t handle snow, you know. I guess that’s why it doesn’t snow as much. Or is that Global Warming? I’m not sure. But I do remember a few rare “blizzards” in my childhood, and the silence. The whisper and patter of stealthy white flakes sewing together their magnificent blanket. I remember a gentle breeze that rustled no leaves; only moved the flakes a little to the right or the left. Peace is a beautiful thing that I think nature gives to us. Whether you believe in a God or not, peace is granted to us all. Wonderful memory. Thanks for sharing.
The movement of the study to its new location downstairs is commencing now. This means I will be disabling my already volatile computer system and hoping that it will turn back on once it is in place. As things are, we will just have to see. Everyone of me keep your fingers crossed. May God bless this transfer …
see you on the other side …

Well, with my wife being pregnant, I have doing a lot of cleaning, and with it being the end of the teaching year, there is quite a lot to clean up. Yesterday, I cleaned the Kitchen, the Living room, and the Bedroom foyer (our bedroom has two sections makes me sound rich don’t it). In addition to cleaning those areas of the house, I also swept and mopped all of them plus the downstairs. We have a couple of three dogs that like to drop their hair every where, and our little dogs are in the habit of dropping other things. SO in an effort to combat that, we are putting ourselves on a schedule and I have cleaned all the floors with vinegar in hopes to get rid of any traces of smell. I still have the spare bedroom and the study to get to, but we’re re-assigning those rooms, so I’ll be moving a lot of furniture as well. Also, we’ve hired a behaviorist for Bree, the German Shepherd because she has developed some over-protective tendencies. We will be meeting with her later this week. I couldn’t believe there actually was one in Knoxville. Soon, I intend to start writing about hybrid cars and such.
