What should I blog about today? For a while, I was out of ideas.
These were my choices:
1. The 45 minutes plus I spent on the phone with two reps (and the automatic system) at Medicare on a bill that has already taken more of my time than it's worth, and the time of a billing advocate? (Maybe I'll blog about that one day)?
2. The finding out that Microsoft had somehow updated my Photos app so I could no longer save photos from my iPhone the way I always have but insists I use something called OneDrive, whatever that is? (Should I waste more of my life to find out what One Drive is and how to get rid of it?)?
3. My reserve list for ebooks at the New York Public Library.
But then I thought of #4, which needs a shout out:
4. A wonderful veterans program we've taken some classes because of?
Let's go with #4, which leads us to this Christmas evergreen wreath.
Cornell Cooperative has been holding one hour evening classes (free of charge!) for veterans and a guest (in our case, me). They average one class a month. They actually do a lot more for vets, but we don't want to take advantage and not have a truly deserving vet (for example, one that served in combat) not be able to attend or get some needed help.
So far we've taken three excellent classes: Flower arranging (all supplies provided), herbal make-your-own salves and the like (ditto) and wreath making.
The wreath making class was somehow rushed, but this is what my spouse made. (This time all we got was the wreath ring and the evergreen boughs/wire to wire the boughs onto the ring. We bought the little bows and the big bow at what I call the $1.25 store. It used to be the Dollar store at one time.
Yes, it is far from perfect but it is ours. Thank you, Cornell!
And now, let the Holiday season begin.
...you found a nice activity.
ReplyDeleteWell done. The nearest activities are two hours away from us. You are lucky to be able to go!
ReplyDeleteA local nursery had classes several years ago on wreaths and other flower displays. It was fun.
ReplyDeleteAs for Microsoft, when my tablet was set up and we transferred the files, we couldn't find them because they were all on OneDrive. Had to move everything back to the hard drive. And Microsoft still wants me to send files to OneDrive. NO!
That's a lovely wreath and utterly unique!
ReplyDeletePretty wreath
ReplyDeleteLovely wreath.
ReplyDeleteI do have OneDrive. What's nice about it is when I get a new computer, my files all just get set up automatically. Although, I'll probably run out of room at some point (I'm not paying for extra storage).
I had been saving my photos to Google, but I'm nearing my storage limit, so I just save everything to the Apple cloud (I don't know what that's called). You can log into that on your computer. (I bookmarked the photos.) And you can download them from that.
