Shopping around

My present laptop is as slow as molasses in January.  I also had some issues with it yesterday due to an email from my brother.  It turns out he didn't send me an email, but I got one anyway with gremlins in it.  After visiting my daughter last week and seeing how fast things happen on their computer, I have decided that it is time to upgrade.  To that end, I traveled to Best Buy today to check things out.  I found a new laptop with a larger screen that I really liked.  It has a larger hard drive than I'll ever use up, and several other features that I really like.  I controlled myself today and didn't buy it.

This evening, I checked the Dell internet site to see what I could find.  I compared that to what I saw at Best Buy, and then called both my oldest son, Daniel, and my son-in-law, Dennis, for their input.  Both of them seemed to be in agreement with me about the computer at Best Buy.  So, tomorrow, I think I'll go back to Cedar Park and pick it up.  It may be a challenge for me to get everything transferred from this computer to the new one, but I'm hoping I can do it.  I guess this means I won't have time to do the dishes while I wait for something to upload.  :)  That would be a treat!

Eventually, the clouds dissipated today, and by the time I got back to the rig the sun was shining.  I pulled out my rocker from storage and enjoyed a couple of hours outside rocking and basking in the almost warm temperatures.  Emma enjoyed the rain free time, also.  While I was in town, I did some grocery shopping so I'm ready for the Super Bowl Potluck on Sunday.  I also found very large, wild, gulf shrimp for $5.99/pound.  Wild gulf shrimp taste so much better than farm raised shrimp.  Can't wait to have some shrimp scampi!

Thanks for stopping by....talk to you later,  Judy

  2. Hi Judy,

    Love your site. I am still trying to get caught up on it. At 2-7-09, but can't wait to read the rest. Gypsy gave me the heads-up on your site and I am glad she did. Don and Pidge
