What Today Was About

Today has been a real joy. It was cloudy this morning but the day ended with cooler temperatures and the sun shinning. I guess you could call it the calm after the storm. The strong storms went to the south of here. We just got the rain. I wish I had already learned how to insert pictures. I took a picture of the rock that has a natural bowl that holds about five gallons of water. It is full of water from the big rains and the reflection is great. I will show it when I figure out how. I also got a picture of some butterflies. Those too will get posted.

My oldest daughter stopped by this afternoon and dropped off a pot of minature red roses. Thanks for helping her plant the retaining wall in her front yard. She planted shock wave petunias. They too will get a picture when they get going good.

My eleven year old grandson can't believe his Grammye is bloging now. He said "You know Grammye, two years ago you didn't even have a computer and now you have friends from England sending you gifts." "How many cyber friends do you have anyway?" I thought about it for awhile. I have had a computer for about a year and a half. I really didn't use it for much...e-mail...journals.

Until I quit smoking. That was July 4th 2007. I started in a group of quitters on the SSC. I began to learn from them how to get around that site. I started learning more about life and my way around the computer. Friends, I have several and am making more all the time. My world has expanded.

I see the picture has loaded now. I will explain how I came about getting a rock which holds 5 gallons of water. My son-in-laws father found the rock in the hills of Oklahoma, just north of where we live. He carried it out in a VW bug. In the late 60's. He later moved to Alabama and took the rock with him. When he moved back to Oklahoma he brought it back. The last time he moved he gave the rock to his son, who in turn brought the rock to me. They placed it in my angel garden by the patio. I have had the rock for about ten years now. I love it.
