Kathy does (3) loads of laundry this morning; then walks to Wal-Mart & Smith’s grocery store & then carries (2) bags back to our bus.
Gary & Rosemary visit around 4:00pm; he brought a bottle of wine & Kathy cut some cheese. We gab for close to (2) hrs without any easing up about G & R experiences as Howlies living in Hawaii, about Gary’s air traffic controller experiences, about various traveling experiences that both couples have had, & some good stories of raising our children & a myriad of other topics.
Meanwhile, having our Lady Garmin updated, I am now ready to take on another project: moving the recent photos from the computer’s hard drive & uploading them to our family photo website.
In November, however, Nick changed our photo storage site to the Gallery Photo Album Organizer & that, I suspect, might be causing my confusion; after a good (40) min of getting nowhere, I call Nick in Seattle & leave a message. As luck would have it, he calls back as he is walking home & we discuss this dilemma in more detail. Within (20) min, he arrives @ their condo & Eriko has dinner waiting, so we agree to postpone this software schooling until after our dinners.
Dinner: pork chops, brown rice, broccoli & a mixed salad.
After dinner, Kathy offers to wash & dry the dishes while I continue working with Nick on the telephone; this was a splendid offer. We spent another (1.5) hrs + with this photo project before achieving success thanks to Nick’s patience & understanding of computer’s software. After Nick returned to his family life, it took another (3) hrs for our computer to upload the remaining (234) photos onto our Gallery Album.
Late DVR movie: “Rhapsody in Blue” with Robert Alda, Joan Leslie, Alexis Smith, Oscar Levant, Charles Coburn, Julie Bishop, etc. Don’t for a minute think this is an accurate biography of George Gershwin (played by Robert Alda), but it is a lavish, colorful, & affectionate musical film. Of special interest are the appearances by Paul Whiteman (as himself) & the dubbed-in piano work of Gershwin’s friend, Oscar Levant. The “Rhapsody in Blue” & “America in Paris” numbers are standouts. 1945. K & I enjoyed this movie very much.
