Hi everyone:

Hope you had a safe and happy holiday over the fourth. Around here it was hot but that's normal for Arkansas in July. I was reminding my husband only a few days ago that he thought we could survive here without air conditioning when we moved here from Northern Michigan where we didn't have that luxury. Now I sit here in my rocker with the air blowing on me and wonder how people survived before it was invented. I also think of the people who have to work out in it. I'm thankful to have people who are willing to do that and have concerns for the elderly and sick. I'm rattling away aren't I.

I would have written sooner but there really isn't a lot to report in the way of changes at Renae's Room. Also, my emotions were too raw earlier and I would have ended up writing volumes over the experience of upgrading my computer and I still may.

I upgraded my old Pentium to a Pentium 2. It was used and the guy gave me a 30 day written warranty. It didn't work. When I tried to return it he claimed I had torn it up. The problem was that I didn't want to lose all the info off my old computer so I switched hard drives. He specifically told me I could do that before I bought it. What he didn't tell me was that when making the change I would have to wipe the old hard drive clean and totally reinstall everything. To add to the problem my CD-RW went on the fritz and would only record parts of what I had told it to record. I was able to maintain a lot of my files but I also lost a lot of stuff in the process and have been busy trying to bring my system back up to speed.

I've been trying to catch up on the mountain of jokes that you guys have been sending me. Sorry it's taking so long to post them. But just today I added more to both the pet jokes and the school jokes. Hope you enjoy them and keep 'em coming.

Guess that'll do it for now. Have a great summer break. I'll try and get some new school related fonts up within the next few days.
