Neighbors and their gardens

Most of my neighbor’s here, seem to have a vegetable garden that they are tending to and I love that every now and then there is someone at my door with a basket of healthy garden goodies that are being given away, due to the fact that they are growing more than they can handle on their own, which is good for folks like me that love freebies and too lazy to grow my own garden.

I love this time of year because I now have a good supply of green beans, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes, and several nice, large Beefeater tomatoes, that will taste so good on a sandwich, with lots and lots of mayo!

Never Too Old to Learn

I have to tell you that I really thought that you had to be an IT in order to gain remote access to a computer, I mean every place that I ever worked at, if you had problems with your desk computer you called Tech Support and they somehow always managed to gain remote access to the darn thing and before you knew it, all was running smooth once again. Well usually that was the case any way. I always wondered how they could do that, but never thought to ask.

I was having issues with my laptop over the week end and was crying to blues to a friend when she told me that her cousin was a whiz with computers and could help me if I allowed her to gain remote access to it. That really through me for a loop and got my curiosity up and running.

After my computer was acting better, a shout out to my friend’s cousin by the way, I went online and looked around a bit on the subject of remote access and found that anyone can get the software that is needed to safely gain access to another computer. Remotepc.com has the means to securelyand quickly access your Internet enabled computer, whether it be at work or home. They even have a demo that is worth the time to check out and learn from if you feel the need to learn more as I did. Now I know!

Hitting The Nail Right On The Head

Can’t tell you how happy I was to see how my Father’s face lit up when we gave him the hypertherm powermax 65 that he had been hinting about since last Christmas. It isn’t easy buying gifts for men, especially ones that really have just about everything that they need or want at this point in their life. So once in a great while one of us in the family will hit the nail on the head and get it right, much like what happened yesterday afternoon at the folk’s place for Father’s Day.

Now we have to start thinking of what to get for his birthday which comes up in late September, and then right after there is of course Christmas……..

Annie and Her Dogs

I have a dear family friend who lives alone across the river and I try to call her once a week or so to check on her. Annie lost her husband several years in a freak accident, and now she just has the family dog to keep her company. Without going too far into her personal life, I don’t think she will mind if I share this story with you.Annie needs assistance with mobility. She has a chair lift to help her with stair at home and when she goes out of the house she uses an electric scooter. Over the summer she decided to start talking her dear dog for a walk around the block, although that means that the dog is doing the walking by trotting alongside her scooter on the sidewalk.

Although she knows everyone on her own street, by walking around the block she was venturing into uncharted territory, and unfortunately as she rounded a corner with her dog, one of the neighbors from the other street has just chosen to let her dogs run outside without benefit of a leash. Of course, as soon as the neighbor’s dogs saw Annie and her little pooch on the sidewalk they ran over to protect their territory. Poor Annie was frantically trying to rescue her dog and fend off two large rottweilers running full speed at her.

Now that had to be a terrifying moment for both Annie and her little dog. She had no idea how to defend herself and her dog against a vicious dog attack, although she now has read an article about using pepper spray against an animal and knows what to do in the future. She told us later that night that her screams for help were heard throughout the neighborhood and several people did come running. The owner of the rotties as able to drag them back into the house so Annie could safely head back home. However, the owner was not the least bit apologetic and threatened her with obscenities to stay off her street. Now, that is ridiculous – the street is public and the dog owner has the obligation to keep her dogs on a leash or safely contained on her own property.

So Annie has bought several pepper sprays that come on a keyring to carry with her and defend herself in case those same dogs or any strays might come down the street while she is walking her dog. But she will staying on her own street now and we worry that she will be safe.
