Good evening, (((((Nan))))).

I've just got to show you a picture I received today of my niece Kim's little girl, Lyla. She will be two the 2nd of November. She sure looks like a little California girl, doesn't she? :-)

She and mom were trying on sunglasses at the mall and mom snapped this with her camera phone. LOL

Hi,, I lost my computer and EVERYTHING in it.
I am back at step one..........

[Diver Dave]

Gonna have to pass on the baton of this 'puter to Mrs d shortly.

She and I celebrated our 40th anniversary on Saturday. On Friday we took our first trip to Yosemite. Absolutely beautiful! Was gonna steal a kiss under Bridalveil Falls, but we got soaking wet from all the spray from the falls. Didn't have to steal one afterall. We kissed with Yosemite Falls as a backdrop and we got a nice fellow tourist to take our pic of the event.

Saturday night we went to dinner at Black Angus Steakhouse with all our family. T'was a WONDERFUL weekend.

Hi,, I lost my computer and EVERYTHING in it. I am back at step one..........

Oh, no!!! How does that happen?? That's awful. You didn't have anything backed up? :-(

[snugs]

Oh dear what happened a total hard disk failure?

[luvie]

You LOST your computer?.....could it be playing hide-n-seek just for fun? Could it have decided to go out for dinner for a change? How do you lose a big ole thing like a computer! LOL!

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks, snugs. :-)

[WVNan]

God's timing for sure. Now about that book....

[WVNan]

Awwww. She is so cute. The little ones are so precious aren't they?

[WVNan]

You're kidding! Lost everything? That is the pits. Was it a thunderstorm? I think I've been very lucky that my computer has never failed except for an occasional shutdown of the modem thingy that I have to recycle.

[WVNan]

Congratulations D.D. and wife. Okay, pictures...we want pictures.

[DollyCali]

Wow talk about coincidences... I snapped this of MY Niece's 2 month old son in the van when we were decorating graves last Monday. His name is Zac..but I called this pix.. Joe Cool arrives..He is going to be "tough".. and Ohio Boy.. but he'd prolly like your California gal...lol

[Mama_Bear]

They sure are! I hope no one minds my interrupting the military tributes to show her off.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.....LOL.

[WVNan]

Joe Cool is going to be a football player. I see it in his face. LOL. How precious.

[Mama_Bear]

That is so cute!!! And, what a coincidence!

[WVNan]

I don't think anyone objects to the interruption. Those babies are what our guys are fighting for.

[Mama_Bear]

Congrats to you and your lovely wife, Dave. Sounds like you enjoyed your trip to Yosemite......even though it must have been very crowded this time of year.

JK and I wish you many, many more years of wedded bliss. :-)
