My youngest is heading off to College this Saturday. This week we are getting things together to make sure she has everything she needs to start the new year.

I had to re-install windows on my laptop today. Now I have to make sure that everything that should be working is. Then there are some other programs I use that will need to be re-installed. This machine is getting older, so I may have to shop for a new hard drive soon. Seems like
