What activities do you lose yourself in?

It was love at first sight when I saw my first computer in 1984. I was assigned to the new IBM word processor and in the same room was an IBM computer. Black screen, and green characters, and it was so much fun to put in the code and create things. I didn’t really understand they worked though!

As the years went by I had my own. The first was put together by “a computer guy”, another was a Gateway (remember them?), and my final desktop was a Mac bought in 2008! Unable to update to the latest operating system, but still kicking!

Not only is it the hardware, but the programs and information available to me, keep me connected. I love to work on my Ancestry account, sorting pictures, and working on my posts. Time just flies by while I’m creating or researching.

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

First and most important would be my husband! He has been my Ride or Die for 35 years and is the Ying to my Yang. Sometimes I’m the Ying to his Yang. One always brings the other up when it’s needed or gives them a smackdown when that’s needed too. I don’t mind when he goes away for a weekend and I’m sure he feels the same but I couldn’t bear any more time without him.

The second would be my Peloton Bike+. I have never loved riding a bike so much in my life and the number of workouts available to me is amazing! I’m learning so much about my strengths in so many forms using my bike.

The third would be my Mac laptop that I bought after longing for one for a few years. It has everything I need and I’m finally learning where everything is and how to access things from all my devices and my work computer! It just puts everything I need at my fingertips!

Love to my son and daughter-in-law and family – I’d be lost without ALL of you!
