Monday November 26/12  update #297

I had a load of laundry washed and hung to dry before 7:15 this morning and I got kinda caught up on some of my photo sites and even uploaded some photos today.   I started to process some of the work from our latest trip and I am getting choosier because I already have a 400+ photo backlog for uploading….   I am still uploading stuff I shot in April for Pete’s sake.

Once Bella got up we went on a little shopping jaunt to Mega Hierro, Kiwi, Papeleria Monsalves, a Christmas store, and then Super Maxi, all near the airport.  Bella wanted a Christmas tree so we had to do some measurements…, well that is because we need to be able to store it later, and we only have so many places to hide things for 11 months of the year.    We finally settled on a 3’ fiber optic tree with a star on top for $15 on sale.  They were in better shape that the 4’ models, better constructed, and they had new ones in stock.

Upon our return we unpacked, had lunch and then headed to Coral for a few Xmas decorations and as many groceries as we could carry in our roller cart, and by hand.

We had picked up an extra black ink cartridge for the printer because Bella had 300 pages of a book she wanted to print.  All our ink ran out with 36 pages to go, even just using Grayscale!    HP makes a bloody killing off us idiots who buy their cheap printers that suck ink like a jet plane.

I am happy to report that my temporary fix for my computer’s memory loss is working great!  It is only a few extra clicks when I start up but then my computer is twice as fast as before.   I guess there was a silver lining after all.

We have set up the tree in the front window along with a garland with LED lights and it looks pretty sharp.   That is the only photo for today and that was today’s excitement.   

We wish you all the best for this holiday season, 

and especially a happy and prosperous New Year!

Hugs to all.    Al & Bella
