Computer is UP AND RUNNING! (Although.......... I can't access or log in at BLOGGER from home. LOL!) So..... till I get that problem fixed, I'll be making 'spare' entries from here at work.

The VIRTUAL WORLD blooms again!



I'm quite happy seeing that my 12 year old, original computer is still cranking it out.

This has been a 'catch up' week at work. Wow. It's incredible how much STUFF accumulates when you're gone for 3 days. It's daunting, but I'm like a little tugboat and it's gettin' done.

Our trip to the Laurel Highlands and Ohiopyle last week was GLORIOUS!!! Just LOOK at the view....








The river and the rapids were breathtakingly fast, high and unruly as hell. It was a magnificent site to walk along what they call the 'nature slide', where the brave and foolhardly plop right in with kayak or raft. (No way was this non-swimmer gonna do it, but we saw plenty of folks toting their boats and in gear for shooting the rapids.)



This charming little church with the ancient tree outside is right in the center of the town of Ohiopyle itself. I simply had to stop and snap its picture. Honestly, I could have snapped a thousand pictures, that's how scenic that area of Pennsylvania is.... it's a photographer's dream.

(Since I am posting this from work, and time is limited..... lol... here's one more shot of the deck outside our motel room, right on a small lake with a weeping willow tree.



The rain was like a lullabye on an off while we were there, the small lake changing from deep blue to green to gray....... it was a giant MOOD RING. (Oh, and one family of geese claimed the lake as their own. We'd check on the mother ('mother goose', yes...lol) who sat on her nest constantly, her mate, patrolling the lake, gliding along like a swan, and then there was the goslings. Teeny little guys who would suddenly shoot out on the water, paddle about, then DUNK themselves, disappearing completely under the surface. LOL!!! The vacation was perfect. Simply perfect.

More later (I hope) - but right now I have to start my day here. If I can crack my 'Blogger' problem from home, there'll be more posts this week, otherwise, 'this is it folks'- for now. :)
