Hi Blogers and Blogetts... I am back after a couple of days off and, guess you already know, Roz is back and speaking English and eating with a fork (well, maybe not eating with a fork), but Joe is eating with a fork.......how is that for a run on sentence....

Had a great breakfast with Dennis and Marie....I had pigs in a blanked....they had cooler stuff, but the main thing is we had a great time together.......... I look forward to breakfast with Dennis and Marie..

Haven't being doing much except cutting brush at church and cutting the grass at home... But, I did get a new set of wireless headphones............... you will recall the last set did not work and I had to send them back... this time, I went a little more upscale, spent more, and even though I did not wait the 16 hours required to fully charge the batteries (I could have flown to China by then) I turned them on and they worked like WhooHaaa.....great.

Today I begun to create a PowerPoint slide for a meeting we will be having at church in a couple of weeks....an interesting thing happened.......... I was looking for an appropriate background and found one.........and was using it and realized that all the words I was typing like "our programs" were underlined. That indicates that they were misspelled. Well, I am not a good speller, but I know that OUR and PROGRAMS are correctly spelled... I finally figured it out.........the background I was using was created in Spanish and the words were incorrectly spelled in Spanish... So, while English is the language of the world, Spain has not yet heard the news........ So, the lesson learned is when doing a PP presentation in English, try harder to find an English background.... In other words, do a better background check....

Happy day, and remember, take good care of yourself.. cheers

Computers can speak different languages, and if you don't keep track of this, things get confusing. I'm still trying to work with the Chinese software I installed on my computer.
