Having MAJOR computer issues... luckily I found out that my laptop is still under warranty... spent over an hour on the phone with a technician today and the end result (get ready) is that I need 1) a new hard drive, 2) a new motherboad, 3) new casing...... not sure why they don't just send me a new computer... but someone is to ring my doorbell in a few days and install all of the above... I guess I will renew my warranty!
So... Sunday, September 5 I was on the beach in the morning (of course) and then got ready to go to John & Jess's for a Birthday BBQ.... I decided to try to make something I saw on TV that used puff pastry (Barefoot Contessa's Savory Palmiers) and IT WORKED. I have never used puff pastry before and can now cross that off my life list! The BBQ was wonderful... John, Jess, Dave, Andy & Jenny (friends of John & Jess's who were in their wedding, and just got engaged) were all there. Lots of good food, laughter, and conversation and a perfect birthday cake from a local place called Apple Annie's Bake Shop (which I will be visiting!)
Monday, September 6, MY BIRTHDAY.... I decided to start a new tradition and was on the beach until noon.... don't think I have ever been on the beach before on my birthday. The day was filled with phone calls, Facebook birthday wishes, cards, etc. Spent some good time on my deck, ate leftover birthday cake and realized (to quote my friend, Tom V) now that I am retired "every day is my birthday".
Tuesday, September 7 ( the day is not over, but I'm not sure how much longer my computer is going to cooperate)... I GOT MY NC DRIVER'S LICENSE THIS MORNING!!!!!
Left my camera at John & Jess's house so pictures will have to wait.
