“The RoseBouquet”

Further to my report last week on my friend’s computer, and my long saga with it, good news came on Thursday evening, when my friend phoned me to say that her husband had heard that high speed is coming to their village this spring! Whoopee! The dialup method won’t be needed then! So I’ve re-installed the latest OpenSUSE 11.1 and been fine-tuning it. I want to finish that up this afternoon, and prepare a reference card of notes to help her get started in this new, much more secure computer, when she comes to pick it up tomorrow.

I really love this dear friend and wanted to do my best for her, but I am also relieved that I will get some little pockets of time back for my own use again.

Meantime, another woman who rents office rooms up here in the WTM building too, is dropping off a laptop today for me to fix next.

Much as I try to be productive with a detailed daily agenda, life keeps jostling me with new challenges. Those are sent by God to keep me flexible and to provide for my living.

I know I promised a series of articles to introduce Ruthe, the heroine of my novel, but yesterday I got started on an article about writing, and knowing that there are a number of writers who are readers here, I thought I’d use that article today. It’s called, “To Which Reader are We Writing?” We’ll get back to that new series yet. If you are a long-time reader of the RoseBouquet you know that I jump around to the various topics that interest me.
