Cats to Love



Here I am again all set to do some scanning of some photos and postcards. I am looking for the ScanSnap icon in the array – but I am not finding it. I had it on the bigger computer but not here on my laptop. When we moved recently from our one bedroom apartment on Level 3 down to a studio apartment on Level 1 there was no longer space for the bigger computer and printer. (Happily they are now being used by one of my granddaughters – “it’s not lost what a friend gets”). I will see what I can do in the morning when I can confer with my Tech Adviser. Meanwhile here is an old photo which I scanned previously.

Yesterday was Thanksgiving. We haven’t quite adopted it in the UK, but it will not be long before we do! This is my humble attempt to explain just some of the things that I am thankful for.
I have also, for the first time ever, recorded this poem with a background track. Experimental it may be, but I am quite happy with the result. See what you think.

The simple things of life delight
Children’s laughter, birds in flight
Grasses swaying in the breeze
Help to make my life of ease

The smell of new mown fields of hay
The rising sun at break of day
Autumn mists and wintry showers
Buzzing bees amongst the flowers
§
New made beds with smooth clean sheets
The smell of smoke…
