Will It?
Will we have a storm or won’t we. I like the last choice.
Sometime later in the day yesterday, things seemed to have happened that required all I have to give. After Dennis had broken his hip, I had gotten him the most inexpensive laptop I could find on Amazon. The cost was a few dollars over $600.00. It kept him busy for the month he was in the nursing home and thereafter. All that was loaded for him was Facebook and Klondike solitaire.
As I was getting supper on the stove, I heard . . . “Grammie can you come here for a minute?” I shut the burners down. For the next 45 minutes I tried to revive the HP. No success. I went down into the studio and brought up my Dell for the interim. I loaded the free Klondike onto the Dell and that kept him busy while I went back to getting our supper.
After supper, while Dennis was in the patio porch, I knew I had a window to try again with his HP. The recovery failed. I unplugged it and set it aside to create a Facebook on the Dell for Dennis. If Dennis could have “marketplace” and “Reels” on Facebook he would be happy. I went so far as to put country music on the Facebook search. His challenge would be for the sign-on that I have on the Dell. I was not about to change that. I gave him a password for his new Facebook account.
Numerous times during our evening hours, I made tracks as Dennis was flipping back and forth from solitaire to Facebook and had lost his way.
On this Saturday I have laundry going and helping Dennis with computer time. All he needs for access into my Dell is on a piece of paper with bold black ink Sharpie clues. His computer time is worth my time to allow him to traverse back and forth. This is not our first computer rodeo. His eye to brain to hand is important for functionality. He wants this bad enough, we will work through it until it becomes second nature for him.
Yes, there will be another computer from Amazon. My Dell has my sewing components on it and that will not have me doing the stairs when I need something. Just a bit of time and all will be back to normal . . . whatever that may be for the older ones on Stauffer Avenue, the most sought after location in St. James.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
