I don't know where to start.. I guess I ended in a storm. And did it storm. Rain and wind. The desert was like a lake. that night my computer said it wanted to do a virus check. I clicked on yes and that's when the trouble began. The "anti virus" was a virus. It went threw the whole computer just that fast. I could turn the computer on but could not open anything. Not even solitaire. I was so frustrated I just went to bed. Then to find a repair shop. Only one was 50 miles away. Then thought to just sent the computer home to a shop there. But finally found one in Blythe. Thanks to a clerk in Ace Hardware. By this time I didn't really care if I had the computer anyway as I came down with a real sick cold. (Yes, Ginny, my computer also gave me a virus). On Sat. our new bedroom furniture arrived so spent the day getting the bed made. Then to hook up my TV in here. Couldn't make that work either. plus we didn't have the cord that goes from the receiver to the TV. A trip to Quartzsite and got a cord. Still no picture. Trey, didn't you hear me call for help??? So had to call Dish TV. I guess we just had bad ends on the cords and wasn't making a connection. It works. But what good is a second TV in a second bedroom without a computer and with a cold? So on with fixing up the deck. We got a carpet and picked up the repaired computer at Blythe.
Now I am excited. I get a computer back. But no..... When they fixed it they had to take out a lot of programs including my Verizon hook up. I had no program with me to get it back. Call Verizon and yes they will send my one via Fed Ex. It came this afternoon. But we were in the middle of laying deck carpet. Then supper. Finally...time to get on the computer. But oh no..... Can't be that easy. I couldn't get it to work. So another teck call. On hold for a half hour ... finally a gal answered. Spoke English and everything. :-) She walked me threw the same thing I did myself but it still didn't work. So she dug deeper. Another 45 min and a bunch of clicks...IT WORKED. So now I am sitting on our new bedroom, listing to my shows on TV and writing on my computer. The carpet is laid on the deck, the rope lights are up around the edge of the ceiling, furniture back on. Only one problem left to deal with.... this dumb cold.
Thanks to all that have called to see if we are ok. Love and hugs, God Bless.

Thank goodness you are back. Missed your daily chat. Dixie
So nice to have you back onlline! You went through a lot this week. Congratulations on your excellent problem solving skills - which will hopefully take you through the whole rest of your Arizona time. Now, we'll all just wait for pictures. Everything sounds so nice. Feel better. xoxoxo :-)
P.S. If you want, I can show you a trick to get the paragraph breaks to work. I tried to type it in here, but the blog is interpreting it as HTML so won't let me send. We can just do it over the phone. No biggee, but just in case it's helfpul.
What a nice home away from home. It's got that special Diane touch. I want to come visit. Dixie
