Email, dogs, cats and books

Apparently I did fix the issue with my mom's computer disconnecting from her wi-fi every time she turns it off. She called me last evening, because she was on her computer and not understanding what she was seeing. I have no idea what she was on. It appears she is clicking down on the little icons on the bottom right.  I got her to just close that window. Then I said you need to click on Firefox. That is how you get to your email. She did and saw the AOL tab. I said ok, that's what you click on to see your email. Then she says "oh ok, I see that. I can just do that in the morning". Ok....LOL. I can see now she has really forgotten completely how to use it. Then she kept trying to read off all this stuff she was seeing "Macy's..." or a headline to some article. I'm like those are just ads and articles they want you to click on and look at. You can ignore those. If she does remember this morning to get on and look at her emails, we'll be back at square one with explaining how to do it. The only emails in her inbox are a weekly newsletter from her investment guys office. And I just the other day deleted weeks of them from her inbox because it's been months since she opened her email and she won't read them anyway.

If you like dogs and need a good laugh every few days, check out Tatum! He is so cute and funny. On Instagram his account is hi.this.is.tatum. On Facebook it's Tatum Talks. What I love about a lot of their videos is the voice is happening while he's filming the dog, not gone back later and voiced over. 

My neighbor (recovering from surgery) texted me last night that she is cleaning out some books from her bookshelves and if I want any stop by today. I will do that. Someday I want those bookcases upstairs and will need books to fill them! I know she has a lot. She has a den just off her entryway that is filled with books. She is the one, when we first moved over here, invited me to join the bookclub she was in (that ended up disbanding) and I know she always bought the books we read. I just make some peanut butter cookies yesterday, so will take over a small  plate with me.

The pb cookies were pretty good! just from a Betty Crocker packaged mix. Add water, oil and an egg. Plus, it didn't make a ton, so I didn't have to spend hours cooking sheets of cookies.

DH got another small project in the shop done, that he's been meaning to do since it was built. Inside his "eletrical/water" closet the box/controls for the water well pump are bolted to a board on the wall. The board was just plain piece of plywood. He removed it all so we could stain the board and look a little more finished. It was supposed to be done right during building but we were in such a hurry to get moved into the shop, because we had to be out of our house, that dh just had them leave as is.

So, all day yesterday kitty seemed like a good little gentleman. Calm and slept a lot. I'm thinking ok, he's past this craziness. Nope! Evening time he got crazy and kept jumping up on the chair, swatting me in the face and grabbing my arm and trying to bite me. I'd yell no and put him down and he's turn right around and do it again. Finally, in a text, dd suggested I get that spray bottle out. Kitty just saw it sitting next to my chair and jumps up and all sweet and lovey as can be, LOL.

Well, I actually slept in until 8 this morning. Now better get in the shower and at least present myself a little more presentable since I'm going over to the neighbors later. Yesterday was a gorgeous sunny blue sky day and got up to 40. So far today seems very overcast and gray.
