Hi Everyone,
Well Mom seems to be thrilled with the iPad. She got it this past Saturday and is already enjoying the features. She especially enjoys YouTube and was finding clips from the old Caroll Burnett show. She and Sheila were laughing hysterically watching it. Her email is all set up and very easy to check. Even though the font on that doesn't get very big - she can use her reader to magnify it very easily. I also set up their iStore account so she can download books. She already downloaded a bestseller and is looking forward to reading with Dad in the livingroom like old times. There still is a little $ left which I have to use on cables and a surge protector (haven't gotten to that yet). I will also look into a "bluetooth" keyboard so that she can type more easliy. Any left over money can be put on their account in gift cards for book downloads. Email me if you have suggestions.
In other news - it was a bad week for dogs. Mom & Dad's dog experiment did not work out. Turns out it was probably not as house broken as advertized. Several accidents on the dining room rug, a torn up livingroom carpet, and a very impressive fence jump-escape kinda sealed the deal. Lauren helped return him - Thanks for all the work Lauren. Mom and Dad said they'll hold off for now but would still like one in the future. (Not yours, Chris. They want a drug-free dog with all its mental faculties)
Carla had a tragedy with her new dog. If you haven't heard (yeah right - Shirl is way faster than the internet) Carla addopted a puppy. She no sooner got her home, that the little thing got through a small hole in the fence and took off. After a terrible day of worry and searching, Carla got the horrible news that they found it's body at the side of Transit road - quite a bit away. So Drop her a sympathy note - she obviously feels terrible about it.
In lighter news - Kurt and Brian have started contributing to this blog. So there Sheila! People not only look at this once in a while - but we have a 30% participation rate now!!!!

Sorry about the news Carla! I felt awful when mom told me. Poor little thing! Hope all is well with everyone. We are heading back to Buffalo for Memorial Day Weekend (Kurt's brother, Joe, is getting married). So, of course, the diet has been ON to lose that chub that seems to keep sneaking up. Man, almost 40 sucks. I don't know how all you 50-somethings do it!! :) This is my first post. Sorry Sheila, didn't mean to prove you wrong. Usually we sistas stick together! Take care! Love, Angie
Hi Ange!
I still am sick over that dog but I keep thinking that he just did not want to be captive any longer no matter where it was! He was sweet though, just like Bruiser! We will see you when you get here. Love, Carla
PS This blog SHIT is just another spot to have to look in for messages- sorry Tony!
