One of those weeks
Sometimes it's just one dang thing after another, you know? We kept Mike home from school today because he looked to be starting a cold. Now I feel vaguely snuffly and hot in my sinuses. This is not a good sign.
Also on the sick list are my printer and the riding lawn mower. It's probably the starter, on the mower, since buying a new battery didn't help. (And now I am thinking maybe the battery was fine and I didn't need to blow $25 on a new one.) The printer has been having a problem with stuttery color for a while now. So I did some research online and then tried cleaning the print head. Now the color does not blotch. The color does not print at all. Since it is also acting up in other ways, I decided to bite the bullet and order a new one. At least it has a scanner function, so maybe I can get around to reproducing a bunch of those old photos I found. That's what we need on this blog, more pictures, right??
Speaking of that, I know I am behind on my personal challenge, to put two things a week up on my photo essay page. Maybe I can catch up over the weekend. But here is one of the easy ones, a redo of an old page that has been sitting around on my site since 2003.
This will bring back memories to Bujold listees. Lois's niece Molly is a cancer survivor, and to help raise awareness she came up with the idea of having a giant fiberglass colon made, that could go around on tour for the public to view and learn from. When it came to Denver, my daughter and grandkids went to see it with Mike and me.
Just six pics, and nothing gross!
