It's either a feast or a famine...

Hi Darlings,

How're y'all doin' out there in the world...in Ireland, San Francisco, Australia, Canada, Luxembourg, Dublin, Co. Kildare, Co. Galway - Heck! that sure sounds impressive - doesn't it?

I am in total heaven since I got my new home computer last night. I was without one for several weeks and it was AWFUL. I missed it so much. In the beginning I was like a drug addict missing my fix - hands shaking, etc. etc. I missed the connection despite the fact there are 5 home computers in this house of mine - I just don't like using other people's computers - besides they are always stuck to them like clams - two's company - three is a crowd!
Now I have my own magnificent baby - a Dell and I'm just loving it. Don my computer man ordered it for me and saved me $150 in the process. In addition he spent hours in his home transferring all the old files onto the new computer and then he came to the house last night and spent a further 3 hours going over everything with me. Such a gentleman and only wanted to charge me $90 for I am sure at least 15 hours work if not more. He had to remove the old computer, order the new one, collect the new one and then bring it to his home and then return again with it loaded and all of that work for only $90!! He is an incredibly decent human being but I always give him a bit more than he asks for.

He is just such a non-materialist and not in the least bit greedy. I guess if he was married with children, the story would be different!!

We had a fellow come in and clean the windows not so long ago. He did an o.k. job but felt he would have to make a '2 day job out of it'. Anyway Dave the window cleaner 'fleeced me' - charged GST plus PST and every other bloody tax he could conjure up and get away with!! For his few hours cleaning the windows he charged a whooping $320!! Compare that to Don the computer guy!! However, Dave informed me that he has a new woman "and she does all the books now!!" - easily known because after he had fleeced me, he produced this really fancy fridge magnet to remind me to book another window session. The moral of the story is 'don't book a window cleaner who has a woman at home 'doin' the books!'.

My golden wonder car is driving like an absolute gem. I love love love it. Don't know how I ever existed without it. Imagine my surprise the other day when a knock came on the door - a fellow was standing outside with a HUGE floral arrangement "Happy Easter Mrs. O'Neill from all at Three Point Motors" What a nice surprise!! It was the most magnificent floral arrangement I had ever in my life seen - wild and exotic with bird of paradise flowers and exotic palm tree foliage and yellow exotic flowers - honestly it took my breath away. I had given a thank-you card and bunch of flowers to Alexia the girl in the Mercedes Benz showroom who had been so helpful to us. I think she did that as a thank-you. Maybe they do that for everybody. And we're only in the 'B Series' - the lowest of the low!!

As I said - Stuff happens when you least expect it!!

Love y'all. Be good to yourselves and Enjoy every precious moment. I'll finish with a poem...

Little drops of water
Little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land

Little deeds of kindness
Little words of love
Make our earth an Eden
Like the heaven above


Cheers and BFN
