It's always nice to know things prove to be forever in our favor. Maybe not in the moment, but in the long run I have found this proves true.
Last week I shared views of the ocean. I traveled home with a happy little dog and a refreshed outlook about the holiday season. The following weekend was busy as I filled Black Friday orders, attended market and found and decorated the freshest tree I have ever had.
THEN Monday struck. I had originally planned to post about food, gardening, and lodging. Monday morning my main "boss" computer keeled over (literally) and gave up the ghost. My usual computer repair man was available, and we put the all-in-one in the car, and I headed out. When I accelerated out of my driveway the computer face planted against the back "door" of my SUV. I pulled over to right the thing. When I opened the hatch BAM the fall continued against the opening, cracked the screen, and plans for repair became plans to retrieve files. Needless to say, I did not buy a lottery ticket while I was out. It was an eight-year-old computer, and I definitely got my money's worth out of it. GOOD NEWS!!! It was Cyber Monday. I did not have to endure "Wendover Hell" to procure a replacement and got an amazing price on the most highly rated all-in-one around. It worked out. I have a better computer. It was expected Friday but came Thursday. I had planned to set everything up Monday because this weekend includes a Sunday craft show. Things have really changed over the last eight years. I was set up and running in just a few minutes.
This weekend begins our countdown to Christmas and there are important events and dates for you to consider.
