In this time of lockdown an increasing number of us have been in need of a haircut. Well the local hairdresser is returning! And my husband and I have an appointment next week. Hooray.

The Virus Is Raging
The numbers of deaths are galloping up. The virus is raging. We were.tested again today The test is unpleasant but the discomfort lasts for only about 5 seconds. Here at this assisted living place, Ida Culver Home Broadview, the staff and residents are working very hard to keep the virus away. So far they have been successful. We all are taking the issue of wearing a mask very seriously!
Another Family Photo
My brother Bob and our dog Duchess – late 1940’s? At “camp” in Hillsboro New Hampshire
“Camp” was actually owned by Aunt Gladys and Uncle Don who built it.

Return to Blogging Chapter 2
It has been technically challenging to be blogging again, but I am enjoying it and making new links to friends, old and new. Following the search for the missing mouse — it was found almost in plain sight. It had slipped underneath a little pile of papers in the bookcase – not a logical place for said mouse but never mind – it has been found. Thanks to my tech advisers who supplied a picture of the missing item. At first I didn’t even know what I was looking for. Ho ho aha – so that’s it. Communication via iPhone’s camera.
A wise owl – the eyes have it.
Two Mice
Mouse No. 1 – the mouse that I am looking for in order to use my main computer
Mouse No. 2 – the live mouse that took up residence in our house last September
We finally realized the presence of number 2 mouse in January and with the help of a professional, James chased Mouse 2 upstairs and delivered a fatal blow. Katerina was oblivious. She prefers nocturnal hunts outside.
Pictures to follow. 
A Bad Day
I am having a bad day. Now that I am blogging again I decided to use my main computer rather than this laptop. I haven’t used my main computer since we moved in February. One of the reasons for not using it was that there was no electrical outlet in that section of our new apartment. It took time to resolve that problem – we had to get permission from the upper echelons of the administration and to have the work order executed. (Pardon the double entendre) But even then I didn’t actually turn the computer on until this morning. Ping…..a beautiful sight met my eyes. That old beautiful familiar screen lit up……..it went through its paces and eventually asked for the MOUSE. OOPS. I. had lots of bits and bobs sitting by the computer but NO MOUSE. I’ve searched!! Did it get lost or misplaced in the move? I’ve placed a call to my tech adviser, no reply yet. I wait.

Return to blogging
I haven’t written a blog post in about 2 years. It’s time to return so I hope you will bear with me. I have numerous thoughts and pictures to share. No significant knitting but there are other things to explore in life, believe it or not.
