I am happy that tomorrow we greet June. many of my favorite people have been plagued by illness this month. Hopefully, tje new month will be kinder.

I bought a new ice cream maker, which requires no ice or salt. it makes a quart in the freezer. The one we tried yesterday came our very well.

5/29

More rain, but cheer up. The forecast says tomorrow it will clear and be 71o

5/28

More rain! really, enough is enough.
Happy to say that all the relatives in my life have now returne home from the hospital. Let's hope everybody feels better in th warm weather, when i arrives.

5/27


Rain,rain,go away. Don't come again another day...at least for a couple of weeks.
It is sad to become preoccupied with the weather. There are many more important things to think about.
Let's concentrate on writing chapter 19 of the new book, and marketing A MUTED MELODY.

5/26

Temperature back to 60oagain with no warm up in sight. I still can't put my plant outside. What's going on?

5/24


I think that the poem about "April showers brings May flowers" needs to be updated to may showers nd hopefully june flowers and sunshine.
I hope people wil remember the true meaning of Memorial Day will be in everyone's toughts tomorrow.

5/23

My laptop is finally doing its thing. Now i can work on my new book from my bed or outdors. I'm grateful to all the people who have been helping me.

5/21

My faith in the american voter was restored when Kris Allen was voted American Idol. Both finalists will have successful careers, but the ido was rightfully chosen.

5/20

I watche idol last night, and hope the voting public realized that a beautiful voice and creative artistry i still more important than flamboyant yelling and superficial showmanship. I admit Adam Lambert has flair and chemistry with a segment of the audience, but the clear artist is Kris.

5/18

I have made some progress with my laptop, at least with using the mouse. I still cannot work on my new book as the microsoft word/work is not compatible. Also,I need to retrieve my address book.

oh well, onward and upward.

5/17

Almost everyone I have spoken to in the lst few days seems to be depressed. Perhaps the erratic weather we' in massachusetts are still experiencing. the only advice i can offer is to choose to view th world aqs glass half full rathr thn half empty.
Give yourself a happy day.

5/16

My laptop is now hooked up so tha ican use it. Quite a relief. The sun is out and warm today. Can Spring actually be here?

5/15

Iamwriting from my bed on my laptop.Unfortunately, I still cannot access anything else yet. very frustrating.

5/14


I am writiing this on my laptop computer, at long last. i can now access my e-mail and a few other sites.BUT. . . I can still not access my book, A MUTE MELODY, or my work in progress.
I am hoping my expert can help me with this.

5/13

My new laptop is lovely, but so far completely useless as I cannot access the internet.
Hopefully, my expert will come down and show me what to do.

5/11


I tried practicing with my laptop yesterday, and mastered the mouse. However, manyof my links are still among the missing. I have to wait for my expert to hook me up. I'm lucky to have him.

5/9

i finally have my laptop ready to practicewith now that i have a case (so I won't drop it on the floor if I'm in bed)and a surge protector so ii can keep it plugged in.
I feel very lucky to have so many family and friends who are willing to help me. I am truly grateful, and I thik they know that.

5/6

I received my new laptop last night. i am practicing to use it without erasing anything I already have on the "real"computer. Hopefully, i will gradually bevcome more literate.

5/4

When will we get some warm sun on the Cape. Mother Nature is teasing us.

i have connected to facebook and twitter as well as my blog and gmail. i wish i were better at answering.

5/2

i am now a part of facebook and twitter. i hope they work out to connect me with friends. may 2 ius always a special day to me. my late mother's birthday always marks Spring officially for me. I remember the maybaskets we always gave her. She took pride in the fact that she had one, every year of her life. Happy birthday, Mother!
