I am a senior citizen who enjoys writing and other forms of communication. I enjoy designing cards for all occasions. Dogs have always been a major part of my life. I have published my own dog magazine, written dog columns for a local newspaper's web site and major TV station web site, and conducted informational classes about dogs through the library system for over 25 years. I write poems about each one of my dogs. My biggest achievement was becoming a member of Mensa. Music makes me happy. I love to dance. Skating was my life when I was young. Adopting a rescue dog has given me a new start in life. He has taught me so much.

DISASTER TIMES TWO

Dear readers,

I hope you are still out there. Please do not desert me just yet. I have experienced one disaster after another. I'm not even sure this message will post to my blog.

My computer crashed. Humpty Dumpty [my husband computer guru] is trying to put it back together again. Even if he is successful, there is little chance that the blogs I wrote to post will be found or survive. Yeah, yeah, we can talk back up, but the genius said that with the extra hard drive, I can just put everything on there as a back up. Sure, great idea, except it's gone too. The brain trust says he's recovered everything but we shall see. To top is all off, I've just spent over an hour writing or rewriting a blog only to save it and have it disappear before my eyes.

Life is not going well at the moment. Please check back as I will be back asap. I have such a wonderful story to tell. I have pictures but I cannot get to them either and some may be gone forever. Hope to be back soon.
