Dorothy, it sounds like the computer crash is a going to present a big recovery effort - or saying goodbye to a lot of stuff. Do you have the same materials on older devices that you still have at the house or at Beaver?

I'm almost finished with the cat sitting gig; tomorrow morning may be the last (she'll text to let me know when she thinks she'll get back into town.) Then I have yard work to do before I clean up to go to a concert with a tie-in to the collection at the museum where I've been scanning.

Apropos of nothing, during a shopping trip this evening I had a couple of good conversations and I think they were initiated because the t-shirt I was wearing said

"If you're not Angry
You Are Not
Paying Attention"

Back at the homestead I've been focused outside a great deal this summer, but I've demarcated an indoors project: making the den presentable enough to entertain guests. That means clearing out the empty cardboard boxes, moving the eBay photo cube and materials into the front room, and shifting boxes listed on eBay to someplace else to await their eventual shipping. I decided to start in the far corner, and have over the last few weeks added various types of wine to the small wine rack on the shelf. I don't drink much wine these days, but when I have guests I now have a selection of white and red to offer. The wine glasses are on the shelf above, and I'll work outward from that point. Next: clear the dining table next (where the photo stuff is.) The biggest and most difficult move will be figuring out if I can relocate the dog kennel. They love it and use it all of the time. It's right there in front, something I'd like to make less conspicuous.
