Wow - I did not post ANYTHING for over a year?
But I have thought about it!
And so much has happened!
I came here to tell a funny little story.....but now I feel like I should do a catch up.
Lets see - 2023 in a nutshell - 2 high school graduations, 1 8th grade promotion. Some great camping trips. A WONDERFUL 50th anniversary cruise with a couple extra days in Paris (Paris, and France, was never on my bucket list - now I wish I could go at least yearly!). So far this year my oldest daughter receieved an award for Officer of the Year 2023 at her job; my walking companion is on house rest because he needs to have surgery to fix a CCL (which in a human would be ACL) but it is a 12 week recovery/rehab post op and that would be within the time frame for our family trip (all booked and paid for) to WDW in June....so he has to wait....so we have already rearranged camping trips knowing that some more might need to be changed. No granduations (oh, I like that typo - it is perfect!) but 2 more have already gotten their driver's permits, and a 3d is working on hers.
So my story.....earlier this week we had our yearly service meeting for the Auxuillary at which I "work" twice (sometimes more) a month. We were waiting while one of our guest speakers was working on trying to get her laptop hooked up for her powerpoint presentation. And she was being helped by one of my fellow volunteers. We have lunch catered for these meetings but people bring in extra.
All of a sudden Linda (the volunteer) looked up and said "Can someone put the chips out in the bowls please?"
And the volunteer seated across from me (I am not the youngest in this group but I also am not the oldest) looked up and said to her "I am sorry, I am not computer literate, and I have no idea what you are asking for".
Complete silence at our end of the table....
Linda said - "I am asking if someone can put the chips in the bowls for me while I am helping _____"
And again the woman said "I still dont understand what you are asking me to do because I dont know anything about computers"
Again. Complete silence.
Finally I looked at her and said - "Linda is asking if someone can go over to that counter - I pointed - and open tha bags of tortilla chips and put them in the bowls she has sitting there"
Still a blank look from the person until she looked where I was pointing......luckily for all of us she immediately started laughing at herself - because that gave us permission to break out laughing!
Not sure exactly what she did for a living but I do know she worked in a lawyers office.....maybe before the computer age???
I would promise to go through some photos and post them but I am not sure I will follow through. Maybe I can get a couple posted right now
