I've decided that all the trouble I am having with other browsers is because my computer is likely getting ready to bite the dust. It's memory is about 98% full and is about 7 years old. A child, really, but these children have early aging disease and rarely live beyond the age of 10.
I do not know if this is fixable and I do not have the ability to get a new computer. I will have to find some time to try to figure out what to do about it.
A generous gift from a friend allowed Michael and I to purchase a 7 quart canner that seems to be built for glass stoves. Leah came by again, bless her helpful, generous, and fun heart, and we have been tackling learning to can together.
We made dill pickles and bread and butter pickles, and took care of the large mound of cucumbers that had been tormenting me. I hope they are tasty, if a bit limp.
So I better get down to the garden. I spent most of the day cooking and housecleaning yesterday, but I'm sure veggies are taking over again, and I have baked summer squash cassarole on the menu for today's bash.
Happy Independence Day.
Remember what this country was founded on. Get out the consitution and read it. Make is a family event and tradition.
Go here to download FREE audio recordings, by Max McLean, of several important historical documents. Let is play as you sit together and drink lemonade on yoru porches and BBQ.
This day is not about fireworks. It's about our country. Let's refocus and teach our children and our grandchildren. Before we lose what we were given as a gift.
God bless you all.

Happy 4th of July, fave a great day with your family! Congratulations on your pickle making quest. I'm sure they'll be delicious! I hope you're able to sort out the computer problem without loosing any data. My husband and I bought our computers from a place called consumer depot in Nashville, they buy broken and returned merch and resell it really cheap locally and on ebay. We got a great deal on two Sony Vaios with flat screen monitors. They were set up on the floor so we knew they were working, maybe there's a place like that near you where you can get an essentially new computer for cheap?!
ReplyDeleteI actually may be a little late, but I should have everything ready except for reheating the bread and putting the finishing touches on.
ReplyDeleteI must say you officially have me addicted to Flock. My flickr acct didn't work on it either so I used Tinypic. Yeah, it is annoying to add another acct, but it did work... Picasa also works.
Okay, I was taking a break from squeezing lemons, so I had better get back to it! See you later~
Happy Independence Day Faith!
ReplyDeleteJo,
ReplyDeletePickles came out tasty, but a little soggy. They were on the counter and no longer crisp, so not a surprise.
I hope to get a new computer with more space if I ever get legal support from my DH. They are getting so cheap. There is a place about 2 hours from us that reconditions them. I may go there again.

Leah,
ReplyDeleteI hope Flock is still working for you. Now it's not loading anything in my media bar and I don't know if it's them or me.
