THIS AND THAT

Our weekend consisted of ups and downs. We've been hassling with our new computer - it seems to do crazy things but we're never sure if it's the computer or us! For example, the cursor jumps all over the place, documents disappear into thin air and the typing doesn't keep u (just lost the cursor there!) p with my typing!! According to the Best Buy Geek Squad - and Jason - it's just a touchy keyboard which we need to learn to manage. So we working on it.

Saturday was a rainy day so we went out for breakfast at a quaint little restaurant then on to the Tyrone Square Mall (thanks for rainy days) where I had a ball buying a few items and Jerry got a haircut and watched people.

In the evening we went to a Gospel Oprey at a little church that we heard about the first time we were here and have gone to most Saturday nights when we could. The music is beautiful - all old-time hymns and sung with great harmony. Some of you would not like the instrumental that goes with it, but combined with the great vocal harmony, it is great. They had a guest soprano with a beautiful strong voice who sang with great conviction.

Yesterday we went to church at Sarasota. That was a nice day also. The following people from Central Illinois were there: Dave/Gloria Wettstein, Lois Wettstein Stoller, Richard/Janet Weigand Knecht, Linda Kinder, Terry/Bev Miller, Ralph/Marge Kuntz.

Today we're going to Vic and Jean's for lunch. She said she's making vegetable/beef soup. Marguerite will be there also - so I'M looking forward to the day. Cloudy now with rain expected, so Jerry won't be missing out on any sun.

Sounds as if you are being kept very busy! The weather here is

Does your laptop have a touchpad pointing device? Try turning it off...that might be the reason you are having a problem.

Well, Drake, I think it does, but I don't know which one it is. The girl at Best Buy was puching one of them that she said should do that but it didn't. After examining all these keys carefully I can see several things I might be hitting that might cause these strange happenings, so we're just trying to be careful and not getting too upset. Thanks for your input.

The touchpad is a rectangle in front of your keyboard that you swipe your finger over to move the cursor. When you tap on it it's like clicking a mouse button. I always turn them off because weird things happen. You can probably turn it off in the Control Panel in 'Mouse' or 'Pointing Devices'.
