The adventures of Granny Jo

Well after spending one week in the nursing home, my mother-in-law, Granny Jo was taken to the hospital (a week ago Friday night) with some sort of seizure.  She suffers from Alzheimer’s and can’t communicate her thoughts or feelings.  We spent three or four hours at the hospital while they ran tests and all they could [...]

Keyboard Woes

A while back I was in the market for a new mouse and I asked for reader recommendations.  I’m having issues with my keyboard now.  I got a new compute a couple months ago and I didn’t like the keyboard that came with it so I noticed a Logitech  wireless keyboard (K-350) and mouse (M-705) set at [...]

Faster Internet

My internet service was changed today from AT&T DSL to Charter Cable.  The two SpeedTest charts on the right show the difference.  The test result on top was done moments ago after the switch.

These two guys show you how illusions are done [...]

Granny Jo

We took my mother-in-law to a nursing home tonight.  She has Alzheimer’s and is deteriorating as the days go by.  Her vocabulary is down to just a few short words.  She  doesn’t appear to know who anyone is anymore, yet she’s still friendly and giggly.

She had been living with my sister-in-law and her [...]

Winter Wonderland

We got about 3 inches of unpredicted snow yesterday and overnight last night.   It’s very pretty as it clings to the trees and everything else it can.  They’re predicting more snow on New Year’s Eve. Click on images to enlarge
