Winter weather is here

December 8th, 2009 by Sha

Overnight pileupWithin a matter of hours our Indian summer has turned to winter. The huge storm moving across the United States dumped two feet of snow on south west Colorado overnight. The sun is trying to break out this morning but the weather forecast is telling us more storm is on the way. There’s already too much snow for the four wheeler to plow; it keeps getting stuck and Pete is having a heck of a time trying to clear our road. We’re definitely not going anywhere today. It’s okay though, we have plenty of supplies and the internet is working – that’s all we can ask for in this kind of weather.

Missing home

June 14th, 2009 by Sha

Patio - Spring 2009I don’t leave home very often, and I like it that way. I can’t remember the last time I stayed in a hotel, so being away from home in a strange place is weird to say the least. The hardest thing for me the first night away was staying in a hotel in a city, next to a highway with traffic so loud I barely got any sleep. I’m so spoiled from living in B.F.C., where we rarely hear a car go by so it makes it very difficult to fall asleep when there is lot of ambient noise. The hotel was kind enough to move me across the hall, to the side of the hotel that overlooks a golf course. At least I should be able to get some much needed sleep tonight. I miss my honey and all my kitty kids so much, and I’ve only been gone 36 hours. Only 156 to go. But since I’m in a place that has much better internet service I figured I’d take the opportunity to upload a bunch of pictures that have been stacking up in the queue. First up is more pics added to the Spring 2009 gallery, and I’m working on galleries for the rest of the kitty kids to get posted before I head back home. Being away is hard, but it also makes me grateful for being able to live where I do. It may be inconvenient sometimes, but it is so beautiful and peaceful and there isn’t anywhere else I’d rather be.

Do you ooVoo?

January 16th, 2009 by Sha

Instant messaging is so last century now that there’s ooVoo! This is the coolest video call program online, and it’s free. All you need is a good internet connection, a web cam, and people you love. I bought a Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks and it’s terrific. The picture is great, the mic is very clear, and while the clip works very well I love the desktop stand that comes with it. The QuickCam Pro also comes with a little black travel bag, a necessity that usually must be purchased separately. ooVoo is easy to setup, even for a first time web cam user, and it works great. You can video call up to six people at once, it’s like a party line for the 21st century! You can also send video messages to your loved ones, even if they don’t have it. So, what are you waiting for? Get ooVoo today!
