I have lots of photos to share of shearing progress, flowers, and Mothers Day activities, but am at a complete impasse getting them from my iPhone to my (old) laptop. I used to be able to text them, but that no longer works. I should be able to AirDrop them, but they arrive in a format my photo editing program can't open. I should be able to email them, but nothing arrives in either inbox. I am beyond frustrated, even while realizing this is an insignificant problem compared to what has been happening in our country and world, and in our church family the last week.
A week ago two members were in an auto accident; the passenger was killed and the elderly driver is still in hospital. Another member died from cancer early Tuesday morning. Still another member (and a vet client of Rick's) took his own life early yesterday morning, leaving his disabled wife unable to care for herself or their rural acreage. And our retired pastor and his wife who are still involved here flew to Taiwan yesterday to say goodbye to their daughter, who is also dying from cancer. The weight of all the shared sadness is heavy indeed.
Personally we're doing okay. I had an allergic reaction to the contrast agent used in last Friday's CT scan, so have added it to my medical chart's notes. Rick got kicked in the leg by a horse he was x-raying; he's very sore, but nothing is broken. Brian is Brian....
I don't know when I'll post again; I'll keep trying to find a way to download photos. Sharing photos is largely the point for me, and much of the enjoyment for you from your comments. In good news, I've figured out how to comment again on the WordPress blogs I follow!
That's the report from . . .

What incredibly sad news all around. I do miss your photos though.
What sad news for you - a difficult time indeed. May God hold you and those you love, and those who need him, in the palm of his hand. I'm not very tech minded and I hate it when something I've been comfortable with starts to change. I'm having to change my blog appearance and am not having much success at the moment. I wish you strength, joy and comfort.
I do love your photos, but would miss hearing how you, family/friends, & critters are doing more-good or not. Hugs Dee
Thanks, Donna. I did manage to transfer a FEW photos last night; for some reason they came through via email when they wouldn't before. But only VERY slowly, and a couple at at time.
It IS a sad time, but our faith in God and His love sustain us.
So kind of you to say, Dee! I will try to take that to heart.
I have to email them to myself and luckily...for now...I haven't had any issues.
So. Much. Sorrow. {{{hug}}}
Thanks for the hug, Sara. 😌
Oh man. I'm so sorry to hear the sadness and tech issues. I will, however, look forward to some comments from you again :-)
There's always a blessing somewhere, A!
Yes, computer and all things tech are great when they work. And when they don’t ... that is when we realize how much we depend on tech. So very sorry about all the sad news. Especially the man and his disabled wife. You never know the private suffering that some people are living with. Just when I begin to feel sorry for myself I hear about others whose lives a way more difficult than mine. So very sad.
That's the problem with progress, isn't it? We get used to it, yay, depend on it; then it lets us down and costs an exorbitant amount to fix or replace. And so true that the plights of others can put our own in perspective.
