It was a red letter day at my house. I finished the newsletter - the one that was supposed to be posted last Tuesday! I learned a lot about Microsoft Publisher, especially what I still have to learn. Some pictures I was trying to post would not behave, so I had to send the N/L without the advertisements. I hope for this month we can post a separate page - or two - on our website with all the ads. Then they will start their regular appearance in next month's newsletter. The N/L is not mailed, but only available to read, or print out, on our temporary guild website.
Corky and I didn't do much 4th of July celebrating, but we did drive over to Carol & Dick Bednar's neighborhood party. It is an annual thing - they have asked me before and I have never been able to go. But this year I had a handsome escort who was the hit of the event! We didn't go until after they had eaten, but there were still plenty of desserts! I had some treats for Corky, because I knew there would be food and he would be begging. There aren't many poodles around and I think everyone was impressed at how well behaved he was - despite the begging.
Meanwhile, Corky's parents were living it up on Catalina Island where they go every year for this holiday. Jim sent me this picture he took today. Looks like it was packed as usual. And the harbor is gunwale to gunwale boats - maybe you could walk across w/o getting your feet wet! I didn't know they had a parade with a band! Wonder what else they haven't told me about? Maybe Corky and I should go with them next year. We'd take the big white boat, no high powered speed boats for the two of us.
I'll take Corky home tomorrow afternoon and when I get home I think I'll just go to bed for a couple days - at least as much as I can. I feel like I have been fighting a war with my computers and Publisher and even have sore muscles (stress?). But I will try to blog every day. I feel sorry when I miss a blogging night. And I miss you when you don't blog. Del

Great newsletter Del. Having been a guild newsletter editor I can imagine your relief at putting this issue to bed. Here's hoping subsequent editions get easier.
That's tha USC band!
It sure is petty over there! I hope you do go one day!
Thanks again Del for all the learning and hard times you have had putting our newsletter together!
Corky is so beautiful! I am sure that he was a hit at the party!! I am glad you went and had a nice time!
Congratulations on getting the newsletter out. It is such hard work, but it will get easier with time.
You deserve a rest.
I hope you are now rested & relaxed.
Our Honey does the begging trick, it must be her Poodle half coming out! Of course everone thinks she is too cute when she does it. Clever dog, gets her attention.
