For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi everyone! I hope you are having a great Friday! It seems my laptop has decided to blow up and since I just don’t have the skill needed to post with my phone, it means I will have to stop my blogging for a while until I can either get this one fixed or get a new one. Unfortunately I don’t have the funds to do either one at this time. So it may take awhile before I come back. But please don’t leave, I definitely will be back! I just don’t know when. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Don’t forget to go outside and enjoy the beauty around you!
Steve and Muffin. 🙂😻
That really stinks. I’m sorry that technology is failing you. Take care, Steve! 🌺

I’m “working” this weekend! Free labor since I don’t get paid. 😔 they’re 12 hour shifts so I practically live at the hospital now. That’s why I’m not active on WP – also I wanted to publish a blog post but it won’t let me add captions under images. Ugh.
Yes, the sooner the better! Hopefully it doesn’t cost a fortune to get it repaired. 🙏🏻

I will find out this week if it can be fixed or not. But they don’t repair them here so it would take 6 to 8 weeks to get it done. So I might just get a new one. Have a great weekend.
