The sun did not want to cooperate. It peeked out just long enough for me to grab a couple of shots.

He's Number 2!

in his age group! On Saturday, September 24, 2011, we ran the Priest Lake Half Marathon at Hills Resort in Priest Lake Idaho. Gorgeous day, brutal course. Scott finished in 2:04 and took second in his age group! I finished in 2:59. We learned a lot and it was a great experience!

The Dock at Cavanaugh's, Priest Lake Idaho

Our view at dinner Friday night. Simply beautiful.

I apologize for getting so far behind in my posts. It was due to computer difficulties, which thanks to my son are now resolved. New computer is up and running and FAST! I love it!

My daughter made dinner for us. She's been holding out! She's quite the chef. This was very good - better than Olive Garden!

Reading pages and pages. Trying to make sense of all the information he's been given about torn rotator cuffs and their treatment.

Oh, and trying not to have his picture taken.

Chaos

Chaos, a photo by Sandee4242 on Flickr.

This is my life right now. I'm trying to get the programs, files and settings moved from the old computer to the new. Still don't know for sure, but it looks like the external hard drive is toast, which means I lost 37 days of photos. I have what I uploaded to Flickr, so all is not lost. But let this be a lesson to all of you: BACK UP YOUR FILES! And do it in more than one place.

The leaves on the maple tree in the backyard have mildew on them. Hard to believe with as dry as it's been. It sure does make them pretty, though.

Dance with me
under the soft moon shining
in the wide open fields
far beyond the toil and trouble
of my busy mind…

My friend (sort of) and my enemy.

The one on the right is working fine & contains a backup of my photos, as of July 23, 2011. Hence, the "sort of". I can't believe I don't have a more current backup than that.

The one on the right has stopped working. It contains the original copies of all my digital photos. All of them.

I'm still trying some things to see if I can get it working again. I'm not ready to give up just yet. But I am just sick about it.
