Yes, another year older. Seems to happen every year. But you know the old saying, 'It is better than the alternative.'
The last time I wrote on this blog, back at the end of November, I thought that I would start writing on a regular basis again. It did not happen, but I guess you have already figured that out. I went to Texas on December 2 and although I thought about writing a blog several times, it just didn't happen. It seems like writing the blog on the iPad is more difficult for me and that has something to do with the typing. I never watch my hands when I'm typing on the computer keyboard but with the iPad I do and watching my hands and using my brain to write must be more than I can handle. Now young people do not have this problem, not with tablets or smart phones. There is one interesting thing I found out, even though I had Ned's laptop in Houston, the only time I fired it up was to read something on a CD. The iPad was just more convenient to use for checking email and Facebook, etc. I was talking with some friends and they think that the iPad/tablets are making inroads on the sale of laptop computers.
While I was in Texas I did some shopping but it was very targeted shopping. I had a list and unless something exactly fit the requirements, I didn't buy except at Chico's which is now my favorite store. I saw friends and ate at some of my favorite places. I went to Port Aransas for a few days and made some more pictures for the project. Also went to Austin and saw Son #3 and family. While there I got to celebrate Susan's birthday, see Dexter take a Karate lesson, and hear Maxwell's rock band play a gig. We had a great Christmas. Christmas Eve I made oyster stew. I don't want to think about how much butter and cream were in the stew along with a gallon of oysters. And of course, I made jalapeno quiche for Christmas morning. I made six quiches but at least we had some left for the day after. Mike, Betsy and Gary were hosts to 20 people in the family for a sit-down formal dinner on Christmas night. It was a wonderful Christmas.
Tonight some friends made a birthday dinner for me and now it is time to think about 2013.

I don't have an iPad, so I may have the wrong info, but I think you can get a wireless keyboard for it. I have one for my netbook and love it. This should get you back to touch typing. I think they use a Bluetooth one for the iPad. I like it so well I bought a full size wireless keyboard, but it requires a USB port for the receiver part.
Happy late birthday. Happy to see you are back to blogging!
