From San Diego
My intentions were good, but the computer is just not cooperating. I thought I was "wired" to bring my laptop with me for this one night stay, However when I had an hour before I had to leave, the Carbonite agent told me it could take up to 12 hours to restore all my data. Why don't I remember this from last April when I bought the new laptop and had to have a Carbonite restore? The only thing I could do is leave the laptop on at home to do it's lonely task. I am writing on my ipad with the keyboard attached. It is tiny, but still faster than I can use the stylus - I suppose if one says "typing" the correct term for using the stylus would be "stylusing" - right?
Yesterday from 1 to 4 I did my four hour stint at Visions Art Museum and had half a dozen people who were interested in a docent walk through. I''m always interested in which quilts the viewers like and why. The museum has a big jar on the reception desk with ballots so everyone can vote for their favorite. The artist with the most votes receives a one-year membership.
It is sunny and calm here this morning and I have the 10 to 1pm docent shift. Then I will meet a friend for lunch in Del Mar and head home. Don't have any indication of what traffic will be like, but I anticipate it will be heavy! Barring any major accidents I'll be home about 6pm.
I had dinner last night with my friend Beth at a German restaurant that has been around for decades. It was very festive decorated for Xmas and we were early enough to secure the table for two in front of the fire with a Xmas tree to one side. I ordered the duck, but hadn't thought I would get half of a duck on my plate! Of course, it wasn't a very large duck, but still enough for three meals! The sides were red cabbage, potato pancake, hot potato salad and applesauce with raisins. Excellent, and I have the leftovers in the frig here to take home for dinner tonight. Or maybe I should save them for Xmas dinner!
I hope my laptop has been good whilst I have been gone and I will be able to post tonight. Love, Del
