June in Ohio

Creative birds use whatever they can find to make their nest. Easter baskets are not safe, as you can see. And, as you can see, I have finally solved the picture problem. In the meantime a laptop died and another was acquired. This one didn't have a slot for my camera memory card so today I acquired a Dynex card reader. It reads 6 different kinds of cards so I shouldn't ever need another one, even for a different camera. Woohoo.

The video is of a hail storm a week ago. Just as the TV announced that it was coming toward our tiny community (actually a narrow spot it the highway) the electricity went out. I was impressed with the weather reporting. I had never heard our community's name on the TV before. The power came back on in 3 1/2 hours, just long enough for me to find the oil lamps and fill them with oil and unplug all the major appliances.

Next week I am planning to take two 12 year old grandsons to Gettysburg, PA so I should have some pictures of that for my next post.

The most recent cancer tests show that I am stable. Some people might suggest that I never was very stable but I now have proof that I am. The dogs aren't going with us as they would have to spend too much time alone in the RV. They are staying at a very plush www.petsuitesofamerica.com . They get this fancy treatment mainly because Silly, the standard poodle, is elderly and needs pampering.
