Once again Jennifer and Dwayne came to my rescue.  Seems that we had not quite hooked up my iPhone 4 correctly to my mac.  It was working, but the performance was not up to speed, and subject to failure.  So you guessed it.  Yesterday after a wonderful supper, it would not let me complete my internet connection to Skype, Facebook, and a host of other options.  This was soon to drive me crazy!!!  Like what have I done now.  So a few phone calls later, problem solved.
  We modified a few settings decided to also try my data port hook-up and pow, I just about blew my mind away!  Things were popping up onto my screen, I thought my mind was going to explode.  I ended up bringing up Skype and sharing my screen with Jennifer.  My mind just could not handle what was happening.  It is amazing what is stored inside this little phone, and what it is capable of doing.  As the science guy would say, " it's simply amazing".  This one was for my grandson's.  So now I can plug my iPhone directly into my computer to use and charge it at the same time, or I can just use it as a wi-fi device.  What will God let us discover and create next?
  So Boots has been up and had his first breakfast this morning. He has made one quick patrol to all his usual patrol advantage points.  He still prefers the bedroom at this time of morning, this is probably because of the three cars that he waits to see leave for work in the morning.???  He is such a nosy cat. or maybe it's the other cat that wanders by about this time of the morning checking to see if anybody forgot to put the lid on their garbage can.  I am betting on the latter.  But one can never tell what goes through his mind.
  Yesterday we completed the deck raising.  Next week there should be some nice indoor outdoor carpet going on to complete the look!  The cooks provided us with a fabulous supper for our efforts, I believe I will not need breakfast, perhaps not even lunch, I am still felling that full.  Talk about a feast!  And then there was cake for desert, no wonder I seem to gain weight when I am at the lake during the summer!
  Last night Karen and Gord hosted a fire for everyone that helped in building the deck.  Boots keeps on wanting to go over to their yard to visit, and find "Reno" his old friend who has passed away.  Boots used to sleep in Reno's Blanket, I am sure that is probably what saved this starving little kittens life!  Anyways there is this toy palm that looks like a miniature colie but this one barks, the big one did not!  You should see the look on Boots' face, like whats going on here?  I just want to come over and say hi.  Why are you barking at me?  Are we not friends any more?  Every time they visit, Boots and Turbo get a bit closer, before turbo loses his self control.  Then Boots gives him this look, well  if you're going to be like that, maybe i'll come back later.
  What are my plans for today?  Well after coffee Donald and I will head down to the dock to move the bumpers over to customize things so they are better suited for our boats.  They definitely were set up for the small boat that moved to the back side of the dock.  When they asked me if I minded changing dock positions, I never even considered such a minor detail as this.  But it was such a small boat, and they are definitely not in the right position for Derek's or Donald's boat.  So we will spend some leisure time this morning repositioning them correctly, thus building some memories for ourselves at Building the Simple life.....................
