Then we went out to dinner at the Longhorn, since I had a coupon for $5 off my dinner, plus a coupon they sent me via email for a free dessert. I'd been unable to come up with any ideas for a birthday gift (it's nice when your husband has taken such good care of you that you can't come up with a single thing that you need or want) so Gerry then took me across the street to the Verizon store and we bought extended batteries for our phones. Mine will be my birthday gift and I'll hold his until his birthday, in another month, and his will be his birthday gift. I only came up with the battery idea because I've found that if I talk to you and my sister in the same day, it kills my battery. And since our cell phones are our only phones..........well, the extra battery power will be worth it. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Sandy 's message, "Kate, thank you, thank you, thank you. The card arrived yesterday (such a surprise!) and, of course, your email came in last night. So far, it's been a wonderful weekend. After getting pouring rain early Saturday morning, which we needed badly, it turned out sunny, breezy and beautiful. Gerry and I went out to visit a few of the houses on our Parade of Homes. Such beauty..........and such high prices! I fell in love with one.........they called it the New Old House. The builder used a lot of reclaimed lumber for the floors and trim. The floors were so beautifully distressed and the house itself called to me. The price was (only!) $359,000.00 and if we'd won the lottery last night...........!" on 11:04:59 am, Sun, 10/14/07

Today, Gerry let me sleep in and when I got up, he stripped the beds and put the sheets in the washer. He's fixed me breakfast and we're working our way through the Sunday paper. Oh, he also brought me a beautiful bouquet of fall flowers yesterday. Ummmm, they smell so good. This evening, we're going over to Punkie's for cake and ice cream. I think I've done a good job of spreading out this birthday over the weekend and all in all, it's been perfect. Being a year older isn't so bad if it's all like this.........LOL.

I'm so glad Gerry was able to help you with your computer problem. I had to laugh, though, as a memory came back to me. About two months ago, someone over at the CM had computer problems and asked for help. Of course, there wasn't any to be had. Gerry was snickering at the time because, as he said, if things would have been different, he would have chimed in and solved the problem. But, as it was, there was no way he was going to help anyone there, even if their computer totally crashed and was on fire. So they didn't just lose me, they lost their computer IT help. Oh, well, that really bites, doesn't it? Anyway, I'm glad you got your computer backed up and it all works. (NT) -- Sandy, 11:18:02 am, Sun, 10/14/07
Oh, and one day this week, whenever you have the time, you and I need to get together on the phone. I'm mulling something over and I know you have the experience and expertise to help me, so I'm just looking for some information and maybe a small "push!" We'll have to decide later what day and time would be good. Don't stresss, it's nothing bad. (NT) -- Sandy, 11:20:28 am, Sun, 10/14/07
I tried yesterday to access the Piggy's Pad calendar and found that it's been suspended because of inactivity. I was trying to check on other birthdays, like Vicki, Ramona, Kate. Does anyone care to chime in and give their date so we can celebrate? (NT) -- Sandy, 11:22:12 am, Sun, 10/14/07
I'm sure glad Gerry was able to help me too Sandy....I'd hate to lose everything on this computer because I forgot (or didn't know how) to back up things as I should.....I've got so much on here for WW now that I'd really be lost......
This week?? What's up??? Wednesday is usually my best day....since it's my day off...I do have a dentist appointment at 2:00 but other than that I can talk for awhile.....what time is good for you?? (NT) -- Kate, 7:24:01 pm, Sun, 10/14/07
Sounds like you've really had a great birthday...or should I call it a great "birthday weekend"?? **smile** you sound like Rick...he always tells me that he gets a "birthday week" ...but, of course, he never reminds me of this when it's my birthday..just when it's his!!! **snot**!!!
how was your cake and ice cream tonight???? (NT) -- Kate, 7:20:32 pm, Sun, 10/14/07
