IT WAS A LOVELY WEEKEND MAKING THINGS AND READING--BUT NOW MY COMPUTER WILL ONLY DO CAPS--WHICH SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT THE APPLE STORE AT 5 THIS AFTERNOON.

I PAINTED A DISPLAY FOR SOME PHOTOS OF FUNNY DOLL FACES AND PAINTED THE MIRROR FRAME OF AN OLD MIRROR WITH SUNS AND GEKKOS.  NATHAN CALLED TWICE TO SHOW ME ON FACETIME SOME LAVA AND HULA DANCERS....AND INVITED ME TO SPEND THURSDAY NIGHT AT THEIR HOUSE, THEIR FIRST NIGHT BACK HOME.

ON FRIDAY NIGHT LARRY--MY MOST FREQUENT GUEST AT THE CASITA--AND I WENT TO CRACKER BARREL FOR DINNER.  JUST AS HE WAS COMPLIMENTING MY CAR, THE BATTERY DIED, AND I HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE.  TURNS OUT THE ALTERNATOR IS BROKEN AND I'M WAITING NOW FOR ANOTHER ROADSIDE JUMPSTART SO I CAN DRIVE IT TO VW FOR REPAIR.
