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 in Firefox, but sometimes I use Safari for things like uploading photos, looking at Sitemeter, etc. I found the statistics section of Blogger and found them to be a bit off from sitemeter, but they have page views for the last month listed by source - between Russia and the Ukraine were about 50 views. I wonder if I actually have any readers in either of those countries - I know I get a lot of spam from them in AOL and Gmail, but I can't tell about the blog spam comments. There were four such comments in my AOL inbox this morning. Sick minds at work if you ask me.
Jeannie mentioned walking this weekend, but since I didn't hear from her today I take it we will walk tomorrow (Sunday). I need the exercise, and wish I could get my act together and walk every day. I just don't enjoy walking by myself anymore.
I decided a couple of weeks ago to reconnect with old friends in Ireland, so I wrote to the one whose address I could remember. She wrote me back immediately and provided addresses of two other friends. I miss Ireland sometimes, especially the camaradarie of the women. In a group of women you just can't stop laughing--they are the friendliest people with the best sense of humor I have ever known. I wish I could go back for a visit, but then if I got that far I would certainly have to visit Germany, and maybe a couple of small villages in rural England. I've only been in London and it's way too big to suit me, and I'd rather be in New York. A trip like that is out of the question because I simply couldn't afford it. Because of the exchange rate it is more costly than when I used to travel there and spend German francs or Irish pounds. Never did like the euro!
It sounds to me like I'm ready to take a trip, but it will be a few months before I'll be going anywhere. I hope the summer and fall weather isn't horrible.
- Catching Up
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...
- Comment Problem Fixed
I think my blog should now accept comments. I found the blogger forum this morning and a category under which to post a question about the problem I was having. In about 30 minutes I had an answer and fixed the problem. Somehow I had...
- Saturday Morning
Thanks to readers who have commented on my problems with spam. My blog currently allows anyone to comment, and I can deal with a couple of spams a day. You may remember a few months back I received close to 100 spams in about two days. ...
- Temporary Halt To Anonymous Comments
After having to delete more than 75 spam comments yesterday, and waking up this morning to 19 more in my mailbox, I've decided to not accept anonymous comments. I regret the inconvenience this may cause the readers of this blog, but I don't...

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...
