I had been unable to blog the past couple of days due to some technical difficulties. Last Wednesday evening when it stormed, lightning hit our area. Nothing happened, we had electricity and all was fine, except for our laptop. It was the only electronic item that is not connected to a surge protector. When we tried to restart it, the sound worked, but the screen was a shade of gray. Ugh. So Mike tear the house apart looking for the year old receipt. Well he found a copy of it he had made when he sent in for the rebates. As he calls to find out what he can do, luck seemed to be on his side. They told him that the year warranty was valid until that day, and if he could take it in they would cover the cost to fix the laptop. Well it was 8pm eastern time and most places were closed, he left a couple of messages, and explained to a person the situation, and since it broke that day, they would cover it. Such determination on my honey's side. I in the other hand would have been, "Oh well, looks like there is nothing else we can do. Time to buy a new one." After ten minutes on the phone with people I would have grown restless, and tired but he endured for almost an hour. All that endurance paid off we got the "motherboard" replaced and all our hardware is still on our laptop. I am going to back up all my i-tunes music and pictures! 
The following pictures are of our visit to California's redwood forrest! We had such a wonderful time, and the weather was perfect. It was in the low 70's.
