Long Time No See.....

Almost a year and a half has gone by and I didn't write. I will tell you why in a moment.
I moved one year ago from Highland/Yucaipa Calif. (southern California) to southeastern Idaho. I live in a tiny town of 5,000 people now.
I moved to American Falls, ID. and I love it. We get all the seasons here. No more 5 months of sweltering heat.
I love the snow. I love the frost. I love the autumn that we are having now.

Last weekend we went to a corn maze in Blackfoot ID. It was fun. This is my son and his wife.

We took the girls, my granddaughter and my kids nieces.

It was a beautiful autumn day. Warm. The trees are turning.

Already we have had ice on the birdbath in the morning.

I bought a house here that needed so much renovations. It took a long time. But I am settled in now. I need to go plant my tulip, daffodil and crocus bulbs so that I have flowers in the early spring. This is great since I could not grow tulips in SoCal.  

Now the reason why I didn't blog for 1 1/2 years. I was busy with the move but it was because after having this blog to call my own for a few years it changed. One day my granddaughter wanted an email. We decided to go with gmail. When I finished signing her up everything in my computer was put into her account.  Blogger was the worse. It won't let me change ownership back to me. It shows her email as my user name. She is just a little girl too. So I stopped blogging. I was so mad.  All my searches of what to do came up empty. The chat boards for help all said that Blogger doesn't have a way to let one select which email is the primary on Blogger. Blogger will select their gmail as the default. You can't change it.  I think Goggle is very invasive. I don't have a gmail account myself. 

Anyway, that is why I stopped blogging. I want to come back. I will just have to over look that my user name is a childs email address. Grrrrr

First blog on iPad2

This is my first time to blog on my iPad2. Yesterday I had to take my MacBook Pro laptop in for repairs. The DVD drive was not working. So how could I go a full week with no Internet?

I use my computer for business and financial stuff. I don't have a smart phone so I decided to buy an iPad2. I have wanted one ever since the first iPad came out.

I am trying to get use to this touch keyboard. I'm use to typing without looking at the keyboard but with this touch screen I do have to look. Or maybe this is my learning period?

Update on Oliver. He is still missing. We have walked the whole neighborhood and can't find him. I miss him so much.
I'm not letting Coraline out anymore and she is kinda crazy. She stares out the window. She runs through the house like a maniac. She is bored too and sleeps a lot.



Here is some knitting I am doing. This is the back ok the Cassidy sweater. The yarn is Madelinetosh DK. I love the color but not sure if it is too variegated.
The cables are easier than I had anticipated.

I'm also working on some gloves and a hat at the same time.

Well I do like this iPad. It is different and I'm glad that I have the Mac for serious typing. I also don't know yet how to see all the blogs that I usually read from my mail.

Have a great day. It is windy here with the Santa Anna winds keeping us cold and with hair that looks like we put our finger in a light socket.

Happy Knitting!
