Cell phones don't work well here. You have to go up to the gas station or the clubhouse to get them to work.

One year I even had a photoshoot with the grandkids at a railroad museum since he worked for a railroad. I always worked in an office so when I retired I posted my desktop calendar (by which I ran my life for decades) on the wall of my kitchen. Thank goodness Susan Branch started designing a desktop version of her calendars so it is pretty as well as practical.

You can take the girl out of the midwest, but you can't take the midwest, (and her love for steak,) out of the girl. :-)<br />I'm still learning my new Apple computer after a year. It's great, but much different than windows.<br />We dropped our taxes off last week so hopefully they'll be ready soon.

It's my very favorite gift. They give us 2 copies every year - one for my office and one for my husband's office. Your photo files should still be compatible with the new computer, unless you saved them in a special format for specific software not on the new one. If in doubt, save your photos in JPG format.
