I'm almost back with smiles and woes

Dear Blog Friends
I finally got my computer back...
I thought I was back in blogland business...
but I was wrong!!!!
For some reason each time I click on ANYTHING
I get told
Internet Explorer cannot display this page.
I am going nuts!
I have only been able to visit 2 of your blogs today...
It took me 3 hours to download these few pictures...
I can't read my email.
WHY????
I have no idea..... do you?
...
Meanwhile these are the happy things that I've been smiling about.

Last Friday my sweet Mindy celebrated her birthday.
This wonderful daughter is such a joy to me.
No mother ever had a dearer daughter..

Yesterday her son, our grandson, E.J. turned 11.

We have had so much birthday fun this past weekend.
...
Two weeks ago we went on another cruise.

This is one of the lovely perks of being travel agents.

We had a lovely time on this beautiful ship.

I will show you more of the Mariner of the Seas
in a future post.
...
Last week we visited family in Arizona

It was so nice to visit with my 88 year old Aunt Susy
and my cousins, Randy and David (Dave is not pictured)
and Linda

Linda got lung cancer earlier this year.

She is a cancer survivor. What a blessing!
...
We also got to visit my nephew, Jim and his sweet family.

I want to share a lot more with you when my computer is behaving better.
I hope that I will be able to visit all of you soon.
These computer problems are so maddening.
I think of you often and really miss visiting with you.
It is so frustrating.
I send love.

Lura, so good to have you "sorta" back!! I have missed you so! I do hope that you can get all your computer woes sorted out soon! How frustrating! when they are behaving, computers are the most wonderful things, but when they cock up they are horrible!!! You have had a busy month though, and I look forward to seeing all the photos and reading about it when you have everything sorted out. Time spent with family is always such a blessing. Belated Happy Birthday wishes to Mindy and your handsome grandson. I am looking forward talking with you soon, I hope! Enjoyed our conversation so very much last week. I send lots of love and hugs your way and hope your computer woes sort themselves out sooner rather than later! XXOO

Great to have you back. Even if 'sorta' for now - anything's better than nothing. I wish I knew any fancy stuff about computers but I only know one way of loading photos and that's me finished. And if my desired site can't be found, then I just have to wait until it can!

Have you thought about getting EJ to fix it? I mean. kids always know all about computers by the time they start school so at 11 he's a computer buff three star by now!

I sure have been missing you. Are you back in town? Hope to see you soon.

I hate to add to your troubles, but there is definitely something wrong with your comment page. Have you seen it?

Love and Hugs, Jan

Bummer about your computer. Have you tried another browser (like mozilla firefox)..it's free to download.

It looks like you've been busy and had a wonderful time with your family.
