Up and Running again

Seconds after getting the new computer up and running there were already updates coming in from cyberspace.  Who would have known how fast technology would speed up and how difficult it would become to hold onto the stillness within.  You know, the soul mind connection.  Soon enough I think maybe this speed will become our new Tower of Babel.
That said, as I could no longer Babel it was time to upgrade.  Zapplication would no longer take images and I had difficulty Blogging with Google because my hardware was no longer compatible.  This is not a good thing when you are trying to run a small successful business.  I hear in months that Windows 8 is coming out to get us ready for the touch screen world.   Yikes!
So, I just spent the last few weeks dealing with a bunch of crazy things.  Enough said!

The studio keeps calling to me and I try to get as much time in as possible. I have added to my repertoire of small sculptural objects, pods and flowers.

Computer Woes

I planned on taking some work time off from teaching art at my studio and at the retirement community so I could spend some concentrated time preparing for some upcoming shows in the studio.  Things do not always go as planned but I am grateful to be alive.  While driving home on the last day of work which started my vacation time I got in a car accident.  All I keep saying is I'm O.K.!  Maybe it just is one of those shock responses. 
Then, there is the computer issues.  I have spent the last week deleting files and backing up files on my computer which I was sure was going to start spitting and sputtering smoke at any minute.  Finally the fan stopped working on the computer and the groaning and whining stopped. 
This week is my last week of "vacation time".  Already I was up last night until midnight peeling and gutting roasted peppers from our garden and there are more.
Anyway, when I get my computer issues resolved I will be back posting images and blogging more often.  As it is now, my hardware is so old that I cannot navigate on line very easily these days.
