Thanks, Cathy.

I am not believing this.
One of my long procrastinated tasks was to re-type my address list on excel.
I just spent an hour on this. Clicked save. It’s not there.
AAAASUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH!!!

These are the decisions to finish up some long-term bequests made by a late dear aunt. We see a finish, but likely not in this calendar year. We work with her town, and lawyer.

I don't remember a traffic ticket, though I think all the children had them at least once. I have had warnings - I count 4. I think one was a written piece of paper, but others just talking to me. One was not coming to a complete stop. I find that I remember them by remembering the locations, all within 10 or 15 minutes from here.

Important point to add - I had the advantage of doing most of my learning while we were very rural here, while my children encountered much more traffic.

Once I hit a police car in the rear - yes, I did. I was mortified. It was dark, in stoplight-to-stoplight traffic in left-hand lane, and I thought we were finally continuing on, but the line stopped again. I bumped into the car in front of me - an ordinary car. It was then that the vehicle suddenly burst into the bright lights of rotating police blue disco. Gasp. An unmarked state patrol car, on the prowl for someone or something more interesting than me, and I had outed him. Driver vaulted out toward me (full of hope) and I toward him. I was calling, "Are you alright? Are you hurt? " I pointed at his bumper and showed him the damage I had so obviously done. But it wasn't. He said that damage had already been there. He told me to get back in the car and get my license and registration so he could ask me for them like he was supposed to. And that's where he encountered the 13?-year-old boy who said, "we're fine, too!" and the baby in the car-seat, who was snuffling up into a pout, as if on cue. He couldn't give me a verbal warning fast enough. He was gone in a flash. I may never have been more of a disappointment to anyone. Dd went back to sleep as soon as we started rocking along again. Ds was thrilled and told everybody.

I have been in the back yard again and got another area dead-headed by the deck steps.
I was so pleased to see some tulips in bloom this morning yea! That was a surprise.
I cleaned and am cooking up some squash I got at the store today. Other items are put away.

FOUND THE FILE!!!
I don't know HOW I found it, but as I was giving up and about to close all the windows -- there it was, asking what file name I wanted to save as!

Happy Day!
