. my imac .

 ~ i have now officially entered the world of imacs ~

 ~ a few weeks ago greg and i bought our first ever "new computer" ~

 ~ we have only ever owned 2 computers before the mac, the first being a used one we bought from a friends computer store and the second was a hand-me-down from my parents ~

 ~ so we are excited to have one that works so fast and smooth ~ 

 ~ what a treat! i am really enjoying it! and now i have a photo program that works, that i can edit with and a screensaver that displays all of my photos! ~

 ~ and, coming this friday evening, faster dsl service!  like 10 times faster than what we have now! so that means i can post on this blog more often because i won't have to wait 5 or 10 min. for the photos to upload, while i run back and forth from my mac to the household task i am doing while i wait! i am very excited about that! ~

 ~ and one of the neatest things about my mac is that this is all there is to it ~

 ~ there is no harddrive tower, just the huge screen, the sleek keyboard and mouse ~

 ~ everything is located on the back of the monitor! pretty sleek, huh! ~

 ~ and all that means that my desk is a much roomier, cleaner area! that, makes me very happy!~

......" and frog meets dog "......

.we recently spent a saturday afternoon at "grandpa hosties" farm.

.there are 2 frogs that live in his well pump, so every time alannah goes to the farm we have to pump the handle and get the water flowing so that we can get the frogs "washed out" and hence...proceed to play with them.....

" snoopy meet frog "

...alannah is not at all afraid of handling frogs or bugs....she is very curious!...
