I'm glad to announce I have a new hard drive AND I found a CD with a back-up of my files from February 2010, so not all is lost.  It restored 4237 photographs.  Hallelujah.  It restored my genealogy, WORD and Excel files (of course without the data I had added in the past year). I'm a happy camper again. 

Now if I could get the rest of my life in order, I'd be truly happy.

Miracles do happen.  We just have to appreciate the little miracles each day, like the dew on roses.

I once had a wonderful hard drive in a very cute little laptop. It stored all my genealogy files and thousands of photographs, all neatly organized and labeled. One day I was on my bed with my laptop on my lap. Isn't that what they are made for--lazy computing? Apparently not. Suddenly, years of work slipped from my lumpy lap to the floor and the rest is history.


Good-bye to blogging until I can afford to get a new hard drive. Hopefully, there is some one out there who can restore some of my files. PLEEEEAAASSSSSEEEE!!!

Today I was going to write a blog about procrastination, but I think I'll to do it tomorrow. . . .or maybe next week.
