A couple of weeks ago I showed you my new iMac. In this video I show you how to upgrade the ram on the iMac. Mine came with 8 gigs of ram. I bought 32 more gigs of ram. When finished I’ll have 40 gigs of ram. Click play to see the video.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
If you’ve been reading my blog for years, you know that I keep a bird count. I photograph, identify and post pictures of the birds I see throughout the year. Last year I only recorded 32 birds. I guess I was busy because in years past I’ve recorded way more than that. Since I’m retired now I hope to go bird watching more often and break my record. I think the most I’ve recorded is 56. I think this year will be the year I break that.
Today I started off with two favorites. It was only 19 degrees outside so I don’t think many birds were out today. Maybe on a warmer day I’ll find more birds.
#1 White-breasted Nuthatch
#2 Carolina Wren
New Year Selfie
Here’s what I look like on January 1st 2018. I think I do this every year but I’d have to look back and see.
New Year’s Eve Dinner
Each year on New Year’s Eve we have a dinner party. We invite lots of friends over and those who don’t already have plans join us for a fun meal and watching the ball drop at midnight. I’ve already set the table and my husband has been cooking all day. This post will be updated later with more pictures from the evening. I haven’t mentioned walking or exercise in the last few posts but know that I’m still exercising and getting my 30 minutes each day. The new year will begin and I’ll continue my exercise.
Here’s the table set for the evening.
We had a wonderful dinner! We were so glad we could celebrate with many of our friends.
Some didn’t make it all the way to midnight but those that stayed rang in the new year with bubbles! Happy New Year!
Yearly Wine Dinner
For the last 10 years a bunch of wine friends have gathered at our friend Susan’s house to have dinner, enjoy wine and chat about this and that. Tonight’s dinner was the 10th time we’ve done this. This time we were celebrating Susan’s retirement. Susan is the one sitting to my right in the picture. My husband cooked the main dish for the meal and others brought the sides. Susan provided the wine because she’s got an amazing wine cellar. We all had a great time!
Here my husband helps Susan select some wines for the meal.
Here we are cooking in Susan’s kitchen.
Here’s the whole group about to enjoy the meal.
