Monday Morning

Some Monday mornings really make me feel like this. Today is one of them.

How About Them Apples?

The weekend after Thanksgiving, Dave and I took Mom up the road to Jaemor Farms to check out their apples and other natural goodies like cider, honey, and homemade pies and fritters --yum!


I got a bag of Pink Lady apples (right). Mom got a bag of monster-sized Mutsu apples (left).

Hiking in the Fall

I know this seems like a long flashback since we jumped from Thanksgiving into the Christmas season in the blink of an eye, but in reality, it's only been two weeks.

The day after Thanksgiving, Dave an I went for a hike. That was just before the weather turned from "brisk" to "freezing my buns off". Our wanderings in North Georgia took us out to Duke's Creek...
I apologize for the tiny low-resolution pictures, but my ancient digital camera has been having battery issues lately, and this was one of the days that it chose not to work. But never fear, there is always the cell phone camera that works as back-up!

Upgrade!

I have ditched the dial-up!
Dave has upgraded my internet!

However, my computer has outlived four hamsters--basically it's older than dirt in computer years--so it won't connect to the fancy high-speed internet boxes that have made a home in the corner of my dining room (see below). I somehow survived Thanksgiving break without internet (though I was overjoyed to check my email Monday morning at work! And renew my library book. And pay my credit card bill. Oh, and pick out Save the Date magnets for the wedding...)

I made a valiant attempt to make my home internet accessible--I purchased an ethernet card and installed it on my computer all by myself! But for some reason, I still can't do anything online, even though the computer registers that there is a connection...


In a fit of internet-deprivation induced insanity, I located the ethernet card for my super-ancient college laptop (Windows 98, baby!), but it won't talk to the internet, either...

Yes, it looks a bit photoshopped...

But the hamster looks like Garfield's predecesor, Arby!

Hammie News

My foster-hamster, Trevor, died this past summer of old age.

My fuzzy punk, Garfield, joined him in the hamster burial plot in the backyard the weekend before Thanksgiving. He was one of the youngest hamsters I've lost--he would have been two in March.

I will try to find pictures to upload when I get a computer at home that connects to the internet...
