I got all of my computers updated last week by Todd Saf, my new computer guy. He went through all of them and found some problems that were slowing them down. I needed a new hard drive on my Dell laptop and the other 2 older computers I will use for backup and surfing the internet. I can't thank Todd enough for all of his help.  So, everything is back to normal after some frustrating weeks. It's a good thing I regularly back-up everything on an outside hard drive, or I would really be in trouble. My Verizon wireless internet will always be up and down just because of where we live, but I'm used to that. Some days I can get on, and some days I can't.

I've been working on Christmas commissions which I wish I could show, but they have to be kept secret and I can't show any photos until next year.

I can't wait for the fall to come. I'm so tired of this Arizona heat, and we have hardly had any rain at all. I'm planning to fly back to see my folks and family in Iowa in September, and can't wait to take a break from painting and hang out with them. It's been quite awhile since I have seen them.


So, all is going well, tons of Christmas commissions to get done by December.
