So Sad To Be So Computer Illiterate

I tried my darnedest today to figure out how to put "Windows Photo Gallery" on my computer so I didn't have to bug Kim to do it but managed to download something I'm not sure I want.  I guess I'll just have to impose on Kim's time again.  Sigh!

I finished Lisa's afghan and one table runner and wanted to post the photos on my Swedish weaving website but couldn't edit them...and probably couldn't have posted them, either.  I'll be so happy once I can do this all again the way it was set up on my old computer!

Yesterday I went to the casino to meet up with Mary and Don for the buffet.  They're staying at Fallsview for a couple of days.  I didn't have too much time to gamble because I had to leave by 4:30 in order to not be driving in the dark...it was still too dark halfway home, though.  The good news is that I came home $100 richer than when I got there and probably would have lost it all if I'd been able to stay later.  I never leave until I have to and that could be one of the reasons I usually go home a loser.  Yesterday was a good day!!

Young women or even middle aged women shouldn't get too talkative with strangers when they're gambling but we senior ladies are free to socialize as we see fit.  No-one is going to think we're trying to pick them up!  I gather friendly fellow gamblers when I go to the casino and we cheer each other on.  I love to gamble but I know enough not to lose too much.

One week today I'll be home recovering from the surgery to remove this darned skin cancer.  It will be another 2 weeks before the stitches are removed and I find out if further surgery will be needed.  If all goes well, I can leave for Florida by the December 6/7 weekend...and possibly with Cindy.  She's having carpal tunnel surgery on Dec. 5th and won't be able to drive for work for 10 days so she's thinking of driving down with me.  I'm really happy but worried a little bit about how the weather will affect when we could leave.  I can afford to wait a few days for good weather but Cindy can't.  I hope everything works out perfectly for both of us!
