My computer did a major crash, due to a virus I managed to pick up someplace along the line. Now, we won't go into the "you should have had a backup" because I've been beating myself up enough about that. I even spent several years working in the computer disaster recovery business, for crying out loud.
What I need is some help in retrieving e-mail addresses. I know, I probably need a lot more help than just that, but at least that is something we can fix. I've lost the address of anybody who hadn't written to me since May 5th. And particularly, cousin Rita who with her husband had so kindly invited us to stop for a visit on our way west. We'd like to do that but can't respond! How frustrating!
Just a quick "test" message will give me your address, so if you'd like, I could sure use your help.
And I promise to update the website sometime this week. There are over 100 photos sitting in the camera waiting for me to finish getting the new hard drive all configured.
Thanks for your patience!
