Good morning, all!
Happy belated birthday, furtima. Hope it was memorable.
Glad to hear the sale went well, Treasuremomz, and was profitable.
Maureen, hoping you get your strength back. I read that the upcoming Windows 8 will not work with MS Office, thereby requiring an updated program. IRH has Vista and I have XP. Vista is a "resource hog," but at least our MS Office programs work with those.
Trip to NY was such fun, even tho going thru x-ray at airport made my computer wonky. I was able to work around it, altho it was a miracle. We stayed in Times Square, saw exhibits of Deco art in Japan, Tomb sculptures of the Jin Dynasty from Shanxi, China, Moghul art from India, and Renoir paintings at the Frick (2 from the Art Inst. in Chicago - like seeing old friends). Then, went down to the old seaport area and checked out the 17th and 18th c. bldgs., and had lunch at the Fraunces Tavern where much of the Revolutionary War was plotted/planned. Visited some friends down near Ground Zero, and came home exhausted. Too much was left for another trip, when we can afford it (taxis and food are very costly), perhaps 1/3 again what they cost in Chicago. ah, well.
Hope evryone has a great day, and that wellington is recovering from her big kaboom.
