February is almost over, and I'm just getting back to my blog. I still need to study a little and learn how to add photos etc. But my computer crashed a couple of weeks ago, it got really sick from a virus from Facebookvia my grandson! So after $200.00 and a new hardrive, I'm up and limping along. The good news is that I purchased a Clickfree back up hardrive, and backed up everything in November. The bad news is that I need to reload all my programs like word perfect, and my Creative Memories photo editing program. And the guy who worked on my computer last has my set up disks. But when I pluged in the Clickfree, it asked if I wanted my desk top the same way and I said yes. All my icons came onto the desk top like it was. But for some reason I can't find my address book and thats bad! And I can't open up anything in word perfect or excel.

I will be going away this weekend with 3 friends to a quilting retreat in Ignace. A 3 hour ride further into the boonies. This is the second year we have been invited, and we are looking forward to having a blast again. Great group of quilters, which includes one husband, who was a bit shy and only dropped in. But did show us his finished quilt from a Bonnie Hunter pattern - Cathedral Stars. It was great.

I have a quilt already cut and kited up, and have a few projects to finish, so just need to throw my rolling chair, machine, fan, cup holder, fruit, cookies, wine, and all the other goodies! I'm also cooking a small pork roast for our lunches.

So by next week, after I reinstall my Memory manager software, I hope to post some pictures. Wish me luck.
