Morning Thoughts--I am Back in Mexico
After a month in the States, I am back to my Mexico home in Ajijic. You know the old saying, There is no place like home. So true. It was nice to be away and visit with friends and family but it is also good to be home. I have learned something about myself on this trip and return. I am almost computer illiterate. Knowing how to get around on computers is like learning a language and I learned it late in life. During my trip I saw small children, ones just learning to talk, using computers. For them it will be very easy to keep up with the technology and fast moving changes. For me, it is difficult.
I bought a new I pad while I was up there and do not know how to put an i photo program on it. My son and I cannot work together on computers because he is too impatient with me. My memory is bad and I have to ask him the same questions over and over. He gets angry and I get frustrated. It is a bad situation so I did not accomplish what I had hoped with the new I pad. And this morning I found out that my old i photo program on my old computer no longer opens up. Looks like I need to get a computer geek in here to help me sort it all out. Otherwise, I cannot get any photos onto my blog.
Other than that, life is good. Who needs photographs anyway? After 70,000 photos and many of them are of the same six blocks.....
My son said, Those Koi at the Lake Chapala Society are the most photographed Koi in the world.
Maybe I should name them.....
For now, I will still write my Morning Thoughts with no photos. Do I still have readers out there in the invisible world of the internet?

So glad to read that you are back. And yes, I empathize totally with your computer frustrations. And, yes, we are still here.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathie for commenting. I still have one reader . Good to know. p
DeleteWelcome Home Patricia! I checked from time to time to see if you were posting from Portland. I'm glad to see you're back! Yes travel is nice but part of the goodness in it is returning home and sleeping in our own bed. : )
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, Thank you for commenting. Now I know that two people are still checking my blog..... I appreciate that. p
ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
ReplyDeleteReader number 3 checking in!!!
When someone helps me with the computer, I have to sit there with paper and pen, to write down every step. Otherwise, I can't remember!
Bet Chico and Olive are happy!
Hugs,
Karen in vA
Hi Karen, Number three..... good to hear from you. Yes, Chico and Olive are very happy to have me home again. p
ReplyDeleteYes, you still have readers out here in cyber space. Even though I don’t comment often I am glad to see you back, and I always enjoy your pictures.
ReplyDeleteHi Cat, Thank you for writing. Hearing from readers has really cheared me up. I have been missing my family. p
ReplyDeleteWelcome home!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely surprise to see your update and that you are back home safely.
Oh I really understand about difficulties with computers.
I even have trouble with the t.v. remote. My kids had to show me so many times how to operate the remote that eventually I had to run the instructions down.

Hi Cathy, Thanks for letting me know that you too have problems with electronics. I am going to spend the day reading about my i pad. p
ReplyDeleteStill here too and always enjoying your posts. It's time for us to hunker down and finally get the house on the market then decide where we really want to live....Ajijic or San Miguel or now I've added Cuernevaca to the list. Too many choices.
ReplyDeleteAlways too many choices.. thanks for writing. p
DeleteStill here Patricia! I'm happy to read you made it back home :)
ReplyDeleteThank you... I am glad to be home. p
ReplyDeleteYes I check your blog periodically to see if you have posted or are back in Ajijic. I can't wait to meetup with you sometime.
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, Are you going to the market tomorrow? Maybe I will see you there. p
ReplyDeleteI'm reading, Pat--and now, I live here. :-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome and thank you for writing and letting me know you are reading my blog still. p
DeleteI've been keeping an eye out for you too - glad you made it home OK. Sorry your son was impatient with you. I know from my own experience that this sort of thing is always regrettable. If you will learn to search Google with plain English questions you will find most of your answers - like, How do I install iPhoto on my iPad? You'd be surprised...
ReplyDeleteHi Stan, Thank you . I have been researching on the internet and I read the almost 100 page of directions but it only tells me how to put the photos on the ipad and not how to send them to the blog. THought I had done it yesterday by cutting and pasting. But once the photo was pasted on the blog it did not stay on when I tried to publish it. Tomorrow I go to an i pad class. p
ReplyDeleteI check every day to see if you have posted. This post didn't show up til this morning. Good luck with your class.
ReplyDeleteThank you Fran. I am writing from my class. P
DeleteIt made me so happy to see that my favorite blogger is back home in Ajijic and posting again. I love your photos, but enjoy reading your thoughts just as much. Welcome back and good luck with your iPad class! -- Mari
ReplyDeleteHi Mari, thank you so much. I am writing you from the class now. P
DeleteGood to see you back!
ReplyDeleteThank you Shirley. P
DeleteWelcome back. This is from 2012 and the answer was from someone on a Mac, so it may look slightly different.
ReplyDeleteHaving difficulty finding my photos to upload from iPhoto to Blogger
Thank you Scott, I appreciate that. Unfortunately, from what I have read, i photo no longer can be accessed on the mac computers. i can't keep up with the changes. I will keep trying. p
DeletePat call Apple Tech support and they should be able to help you with all this iPad photo sharing on your blog. they are usually very helpful....
