GiST #59

1. A much easier day to focus on graces!

2. For whatever reason, I got it into my head to check webshots.com for pictures I'd uploaded of the cats. Until 2 years ago, I'd had a yearly membership so that I could upload up to 55,000 pictures. We had to let it go when TB got hurt and we couldn't afford it anymore. I just assumed my pictures would be deleted...but maybe the first ones would still be there--the free ones.

Well...imagine my surprise when I saw that all 50+ albums were still there, still intact.

2. Wonder of wonder, I found about 1/3 of our vacation pictures to Mystic, CT there! TB and I had taken one wonderful trip to Mystic in the summer of 2007. We spent 5 days and nights there. We took hundreds and hundreds of pictures. We'd gotten this external hard drive to save all our stuff so that in case our computers crashed, our pictures and other things would be backed up. We'd uploaded all our vacation pictures to this drive ... and it crashed! We lost *everything* and we were so heart broken. I hadn't remembered that I'd uploaded all the pictures I took to webshots. What an exhilarating feeling it was to see these pictures had survived!

3. TB successfully cobbled together a computer from parts taken from 3 old ones. Thank goodness he saves all his electronic stuff!

4. I was PM'ing with my granddaughter for a little while today. It was fun to be in touch with her!

5. My grandson came over today. It's always wonderful to see him, play with him, hug him and see how excited he is to come in the door for his visits. Saturdays are wonderful!
