Memories

... how precious memories are. They live in our hearts and minds, waiting to whisper back to us. Sometimes they come in difficult times, giving strength and hope. Or, they come simply to touch us with affection.
(Sue Monk Kidd, Firstlight, p. 22-23)

I'm working on a project to move the Bowie Seniors Computer Club (BSCC) web pages from Comcast to our new host, GreenGeeks.  Comcast will discontinue website support on October 8, 2015.  As part of the project I added a BSCC logo and navigation buttons to all pages except one that I don't maintain.  I also learned how to make the old website redirect automatically to the new home page.  I created a TinyURL: tinyurl.com/bscchome for folks who would rather not use the long URL to take them to the new homepage.  I'm using HTML that I key rather than an HTML generator.

Tact

"Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy."  (Howard W. Newton in Chapter-By-Chapter Bible Commentary by Warren W. Wiersbe, p. 750)

Yesterday, Melva and I began the Christmas decoration project.  I brought some of the boxes down from the attic and set up the artificial tree and got the lights working as well as I can.  We agreed that I won't set up all of my Christmas Village this year.  There are several new buildings that we found in some of the boxes we brought down.  We will display those.

Cyndi was traveling to Volcan yesterday.  She called twice, once during the trip and then after she arrived at her destination.  She will stay with her aunt, Yiyo and her husband, Alfonso.  I hope she can use the computer of a friend across the street from her aunt's house.

I continued to work on my project to download some of the photos that friends have shared on Facebook.  I also created an album on Picasa where I uploaded seven photos taken by Vic K. at the Bowie Seniors Computer Club holiday luncheon.  I put a link on the website homepage to the photo album.

Goals

... I will take five minutes to look for a piece of information that will help me toward accomplishing one of my goals.  (Eric V. Copage, Black Pearls, 29 October) 3 December 2011

I've been doing some website updates for the Bowie Senior Computer Club and the Monroe County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogy Society (MCC-OGS).  I enjoy the challenge of assisting the two organizations.

I started making some notes about topics that I might want to write about in the Christmas letter this year.

This morning I finished reading Wisdom of the Ages by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.  I recommend the book.  It's one I bought used either at a yard sale or thrift store.  I'm pleased that I finished the book before the end of the month as it was part of my daily reading program for the year 2011.

This morning I'm listening to the lovely Christmas album Joy For Christmas Day by Kathy Mattea.  It's one of two Christmas albums she recorded.  Both are great.
