Home Front Update

I've been spending lots of time on the computer

lately learning how to use the ZOOM program.

My company picked 5 instructors from Florida

to teach a 3-4 hour review class each week (or so...)

Details are still WAAAAY up in the air.

But I was lucky enough to be one picked.

At this point I still don't have my "license" to

use the upgraded version - they tried again this

morning, but it still shows User Doesn't Exist.

We tried 3 time yesterday...

I'm sure it's frustrating for our home office people!

Anyhow.

Yesterday we were on a training webinar for

an hour and then last night I did a little "meeting"

with Rod and I on the couch using the free version.

It wasn't anything like what they said the

fancy version is like - way less features...

but still kind of cool.

I have another call today at noon, just for the

Florida instructors. We are all friends, so we

will get on there and practice I guess...

Only one of us has a license, so we will share her's

until they get this nonsense figured out.

Then Kyle came home early and we headed

over to the beach for some brain relaxation time.

The ocean was flat as a pancake!

Looked more like a giant lake (or the Gulf)

so most of the people enjoying the beach 

were out in the water.

The water temp is up from 68 to 74 degrees so was quite

pleasant! Of course those of us who are 

pansies, and have phones in our pockets...

chose to just walk in the shore break...

No seaweed or jellies and quite refreshing!

Meanwhile - this morning Kyle packed up and headed

up to the ranch for 2 days.

Gina finally admitted she is in over her head

and is having problems

(cows are getting out on a regular basis...

something that NEVER happened when he was there...)

and yesterday they had a calf die.

So she asked him to come help her.

He is planning to move back up there mid-April 

to get the "dog leg" pasture prepped for planting

so wanted to run up today anyway just to see

where they are on getting ready for that.

(They are notorious for last minute "planning"

which makes him nuts...)

Anyhow.

Hopefully it goes well.

They asked if he wanted to stay in the ranch house

or a motel, he said either was fine since it was just

one night, was the ranch house liveable?

She came back with "Oh yeah, we even stay

over there some nights."

He was LIVID.

If they can stay over there some nights, 

they can just stinkin' move over there!

Hope they get that ironed out.

I'm staying out of it.

Linda and I are working REALLY hard to

keep the ranch issues separate from our friendship.

It's a challenge.

Her daughter / my son.

Sigh.

Better eat my breakfast - its been sitting over

on the side table for 45 minutes.

Hahahaha.

Nothing like cold eggs and okra.

Yum.

Have a wonderful day!

An online friend challenged us all to read

"Saints" before conference.

So I might start that this afternoon.

Oh and there's a launch scheduled for this

afternoon too - better set an alarm or I'll

get busy and forget!

It's not 10 yet and I've fed all the animals,

swept and washed the kitchen floor,

done the dishes from last night (by hand... no reason,

just decided it was silly to run the dishwasher for

90 minutes when I can whip it out in 15),

planted 2 rows of okra 

and a patch of tri-colored carrots in the garden.

Did the banking.

And a blog.

Oh, and made breakfast.

Hahahaha.

LOVE YOU!
