Ooops

Well, I thought it was Saturday.  Not until I went to the grocery store did I realize it's Friday.  This is how my month has gone.  But whatever day it is, I still think my complaint about the lack of craft shows on TV is valid.

My vacation

     My daughter surprised me with a plane ticket to sunny California.  I arrived on her birthday and met my youngest grandson for the fist time.  Three days later my sinuses were clogged and I couldn't hear.  I waited five days and went to the doctor.  Bronchitis and ear and sinus infections.  I ran through a regimen of antibiotics and when I got home I called my own doctor.  Another course of antibiotics.  I just did not want to do anything but sleep.  Finally, I seem to be getting over it.  My ears still clog up some days, but I am definitely feeling better.

     A few times I tried to write this blog, but I was having trouble with my computer.  It kept locking up on me an wouldn't let me into my e-mail , my bank account, my blog or just about anything else.

     Did I mention that I have an amazing son-in-law?  He was so nice to me during my visit, even though I was miserable company.  He is also a computer expert and he went into my computer and fixed a lot of the program for me.  It seemed that every program I wanted to access had downloads that I had to download.  But they didn't do anything but add junk to my computer that they wanted me to pay for.  I didn't want it to begin with.   My e-mail is with AOL and they said I had to download their new program.  I did it and got all kinds of junk with it and still couldn't log in. I put in a call to customer service last Wednesday and still haven't heard back from them.  Okay, I'm almost done whining. 

     It is Saturday morning and I woke up early enough to watch the only quilting show available locally.  I live in Akron, Ohio.  Guess what?  It wasn't on.  Neither was Sewing with Nancy or the Spotted Canary.  Once upon a time there were all kinds of craft and\
needlework shows on and now I can't find any. Are people no longer interested in program of this type on TV?  HGTV used to have a nice selection of craft programs, but now all you get is home decorating.  How many times can I redecorate my house or buy a new one? 

      I know just about anything you want is on-line somewhere, but I hate searching for it.  I can waste hours seeking a certain bit of information, being run in all kinds of circles and still not find what I want.  I don't think I'm the only one with this complaint.  How can we get craft and needlework program back on television?

     I'm done complaining.  Have a good Memorial weekend.
