Matthew spent decades in the back of a closet. I brought him out yesterday, deciding Mark should have him gracing his office. I was a stickler for having professional photos done. I believe he would have been about eight. What hair he has left is very dark brown, looks black. Odd it can change like that. He will be fifty-two next month.
I've spent the last couple of days helping Mark set up a new computer. I guess I'm the tech guy. Today he'll call the tax software company to get help downloading the tax files and then he should be done. Leave it an accountant to wait until tax season to do this, as the computer was purchased in February. I have been a Mac person from day one, so working with this system was not my bailiwick.
My other accomplishment was getting the anti-glare film on the south facing windows of his office. Since the large tree that shaded this area of the house had to be felled the sun, even with the blind drawn, has been too much. You don't know how necessary a large tree is until it's gone. I guess that can be said about a lot of things.
I threw together another leftovers meal yesterday. Leftover faro and pork loin with broccoli, tomatoes, onion and garlic. Took all of about ten minutes. Tops.
Today my excitement is laundry. I know, you wish you had my exotic life.

Too funny about having the computer since February and only now, high season, get it set up. Just as well one of you knows how.
Eats look good. Great picture. LOVE the idea of anti-glare. That is pretty stinkin' cool. Have a great day to you, new tech guy.
Oh but I do have your exotic life:)
What a nice photo of your son! I did my exciting laundry yesterday!
We had a similar tree experience. We had a large tree that shielded one of our kitchen windows. It came down in a violent storm and we noticed we were getting a lot more light in the kitchen.
We don't know what we have until it's gone sometimes.
I always get sentimental looking at pics of my kids as kids. They're amazing adults, and I'm proud of them. Wouldn't change who they are. But I miss my little kids.
We had some major trimming done a few months ago, including the removal of one tree that was interfering with plumbing. Now the street lights shine into my bedroom window all night. ::sigh::
We can't all have an exotic life, Sandra, but the day-to-day things are sometimes noteworthy. The idea of making something out of leftovers can be exciting.
UUmmmm. When I was a kid my hair was almost white blond and now it is very dark. Guess it just happens. I'm with you...Mac all the way. And about leftovers, they can make dinner so easy.
My excitement today is laundry too! I think Monday is a designated laundry day. What a handsome young man!
What a fine portrait, and what a head of hair.
😊❤️
This is the same guy who got hearing aids 3 years ago and has never used them, Boud.
I hope the film helps him, Ivy. He's been hanging sheets over the window. Oh, well.
Oh, boy, Lucky you, Pixie!!
It is exciting.
I sure does make a difference, more light is nice, nick.
Ain't that the truth, Lori.
Matthew was a lot of fun. He was my little buddy when he was a young'un. I wouldn't like street lights shining in the bedroom, Ami.
That's why I so excited to have one, Dorothy! Of course my idea of exotic may be getting dressed in the morning.😉 I've been doing a lot with leftovers lately.
It's interesting how that can happen, Lori. I don't understand the windows computers. It seem like nothing is seamless but that may be because I don't understand the system.
Woo-hoo! We are a couple of wild things, Miss Merry. Matthew was a cute little boy.
I know, AC. Who would think a person with hair like that would lose it?
Good Morning, Cheerful!
Ahhhh, I missed this! However I was walking dogs, cleaning yard, and watching the scrap dudes.
I can see a wall in my shed that has been hidden for decades!!!!
Today a friend of mine is taking me to an Amish Walmart. Huh. This ought to be interesting.
An Amish Walmart?!!!! Let us know what that is, please. You have been busy doing stuff. This is a great thing!
I get that. We do what we gotta do.
An adorable kid. I have your life and cancer and I spent the most exciting part of the day scrubbing a toilet...
The picture is lovely! How great it is that you are computer savvy. You have been busy! The meal looks delicious.
Thank you for the smile about your exotic life. I got my shingles shot today. That was about as exotic as I got.
You have my life and then some, e. I scrubbed a toilet yesterday, too. We are in synch. Not the boy band.
Only compared to Mark am I computer savvy, Denise! It's good you got the shot.
I think most of us live similar exotic lives! Sorry about the tree; i had to lose one even though there are hundreds on our property.
Looks Yummy.
