I like improvements...

... as long as I am the one making them! I do NOT appreciate MS Office people improving me out of my shared address book and other favorite programs. I was entirely unhappy with them yesterday when I discovered that Rich Mail and HTML are now disassociated and so my newsletters went with no photos and no highlighting - all the layout that I had labored so long over. Poof! it just disappeared! But not in my sent box where it retained its glory - only at the other end where it was wanted.

Neither do I appreciate Geocities upgrading... They tell me its an improvement - what they forgot to tell me is why I can't find my File Manager so that I can actually use the new improved version! I spent hours Thursday and Friday and finally did something else instead.

Sigh...

So here are the photos that should have been in my newsletter.

Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting

Yeah... its really a cell group or whatever is the lingo these days - its just a few of us meeting in Mrs. H's house. But we call it a prayer meeting to remind us of why we do it - and possibly because most of us are stubborn Tsugaru Jin, relatively unmoved by current trends

Good bye Party at Gusto

Kris almost missed his own good bye party! In a typical Elliot mishap he was left behind - I phoned my husband and reached a very bewildered Kris. "Nobody came and so I walked home. The house was empty but I heard this phone ringing in the closet." He was retrieved when my husband went back for his phone - and the party went on. Sigh... Oh well, it makes a good story!
