ST AUGUSTINE, FL.  My laptop computer now has a new internal hard drive and battery, thanks to the Geek Squad in Jacksonville.  Getting all programs, icons, bookmarks, etc. situated correctly is taking some time, but I am making progress.  Meanwhile the UPS surge protector connected to my desktop computer upstairs started screeching, meaning that its UPS battery has gone out.  Now I had to order a new device because there is no longer a battery replacement for it.  My desktop computer is vital because it has Photoshop resident on it, and I can no longer repopulate my laptop computer with it.  Adobe now requires that you pay them a monthly fee.  Stay tuned ...

Once I get the latest photos prepared, I'll update further.  Our next trips will not be RV trips.  In September we fly to Eastern Canada to participate in two Tauck bus tours, Capital Cities and the Maritimes.  In late December we fly to Israel to participate in a Holy Land tour with Michael Card.

As for the motorhome, in a few days mobile techs will come to fix the washer and a few other things that quit working while we were in North Carolina in June and July.  We are thankful that prior to this year, our motorhome trips progressed without significant mechanical trouble.  We had gotten used to the idea, then came this year.
