HEY BOOTSIE ~ I didn't know that you could "DEEP defrag" either ... how do you do that? I do the regular defrag about once a month and last time it took only a short while as I guess it was OK. I usually do that at night before I go to bed; I set up the defrag and let 'er go until it's done. Then the next morning, it is finished or I may do it just before I am going out somewhere, so it's finished before I come back.
IRISWHISPERS ~ thanks for those prayers for family unity -- I think when you have a bigger family, there is a lot of favoritism, jealousy, competitiveness, and oneupmanship going on ... well, in some large families anyways. I have seen this in a few small families too, but mostly where only one member is concerned. I have always admired families that seem to be able to love and respect each other -- for the most part anyways. From my personal observation though, families with less children do seem to get along better overall -- maybe becuz they have limited numbers and appreciate each other more, like you say ...
THANKS PATTYGIRL (TRISH) ~ for the belated birthday wishes; I appreciate them whenever I get them. I realize that many people here work and/or have families to look after and many social obligations as well.
We had another lovely day filled with
so we just had to take advantage of that and go for a drive in the country again. WE picked up a few nice fall and All Saints decos for our lawn and porch -- pumpkins, and fall leaves, a cute lady scarecrow, and window decos to pretty things up for Thanksgiving month (as we like to call it).
However, one sad note for our neigbours; when we came back to have lunch, the girl from across the street came to tell us that someone had stolen the motor off their boat (she was very upset becuz she had borrowed it from her Dad). This is the second time this has happened on our street (and block) this past month. So DH has put our stuff away and locked it up better -- seems to be a thief in our neighbourhood, and a sneaky one becuz the night it disappeared was the only night the three closest neighbours were all away at the same time.
Hope you all are having a lovely fall and enjoying this pretty time of year, like we are. Take good care of yourselves too ...
