Thanks to all who have responded to my dilemma with blogging. I can only think it is something to do with my computer and the way it is set up - Blogger doesn't work correctly when I use Firefox, but it does when I use Safari. I'm learning to get around the little glitches, so instead of starting a post from my blog page (which I can no longer do), I kind of back into it with a link found in the History section - it sends me to Blogger.com/blogspot.g? and then a whole bunch of letters and numbers. It works and gets me to the page where I can start a post. Irritating, but I don't care any more.
I heard back from both jobs I have an interest in - the timing of the one I really want would have me working over Christmas (as I did at Ft. Pulaski). It doesn't matter much to me where I am on December 25th, as I don't celebrate it as a religious or a secular holiday (except when I'm with my grandkids, and their contentment and happiness takes precedence over anything I might feel).
I'll tell the world right away when I find out what my next volunteer job will be, but I'm sure not going to jinx it at this point.
I don't know what happened today, but I'm getting spam comments at a pretty fair rate. Most of them get picked up by Blogger's spam filter, but a few haven't been detected. I'm sure at least half of them are done in mean-spiritedness, but I wonder if anyone thinks I will buy something or click on a link because they write a comment or send me an email.
This weekend I hope to take some pictures with my new camera. I don't know what there is around here to photograph - the western sky at sunset is unbelievable, but I've taken and posted enough pictures of it that I want something new. I guess I'll have to think outside the box. Whatever it is, I hope I can keep from posting eleven pictures exactly the same. I still can't see them in my blog.

I have noticed several times in the past week or so that when I write a comment and hit Publish, it never shows up. In one case I wrote my comment and published it twice but it didn't ever appear. I'm mentioning this because I think...

My trip is finally catching up with me and I am really tired. This morning I cleaned up the kitchen and then made a big pot of minestrone-style vegetable soup, but this afternoon I sat down with a glass of wine to look at a magazine and fell asleep...

I have about one week left until my cable tv is cancelled, and lo and behold I again have the Science Channel. DirecTV removed it from my service, then told me it was in another package and I would have to pay additional to get it. So I get...

That yesterday Donald had a box of chocolate covered and decorated strawberries for me. I would have taken a picture but ate most of them already. I don't know why the sitemeter doesn't show up on the new Macbook. I access my blog...

At about 3:30 this afternoon if felt warm enough to shed my flannel pj's and don shorts and a t-shirt. It is in the upper 70's but still feels cool in the house. Every now and then I feel guilty for doing nothing today but reading...
