Help from a good friend...

Today, we had a visit from some friends from Kanawha - Kate Foote, Ed Lynn and Andrew Lynn. They drove down to our house and spent the afternoon with us. Ed helped clean some bad files off of my computer, and Kate and I talked. Andrew enjoyed playing with our Sheltie, Suny, and going around the yard with David. He liked seeing our ducks and geese, also. 

Kate, Ed, Andrew and I went into Traer and had lunch at the new restaurant, 1901 Chop Haus. The place is very classy, and the food is excellent! It's good to see new businesses in these smaller towns. We know the customers are there, but getting them to frequent local places rather than driving out of town is tricky. This new restaurant has so much to offer, that I'm really hoping that people will try it out. I know David and I will eat there...they have a nice, tempting menu, and the ambiance excels. The staff is very friendly, and ready to make your visit memorable.

After we had lunch, we came back to the house. Ed worked on my computer, Andrew played with Suny and spent time outside - even though the weather was gray and chilly. I showed Kate some video footage of my granddaughter, Krista, when she was in various acro and dance numbers...which she politely watched and made kind comments. 

Even with the gray day, it was warm at our house. Nothing like good friends to make a day cheery!

After they left, David ate dinner, and I spent time on my computer, happy that the malware and adware were less likely to cause problems in the future, now that Ed has removed them. I'm going to have to avoid downloading anything that I don't actually go to a legitimate web site to get! All sorts of trouble can be the result of agreeing to allow downloads that may pop on the screen! Sometimes it seems that owning a computer is too much trouble, but we've become so dependent on them, it would be hard to not have their power at our fingertips!

Just before he went to bed, David asked me if I wanted to 'do spinach' tomorrow or Monday. I opted for tomorrow... get it out of the way. It's not hard...just a bit tedious, but we will be very happy next winter when we have all of those packages of delicious, tender greens to eat!

So....off to bed, to get rested up for the work ahead...
