I am on my laptop and not a happy camper. My keyboard for my desktop died
yesterday. After several attempts with new batteries it's gone. The old keyboard
from another computer has the wrong plug in for my current one so it's off to
Staples this morning to solve the problem.

... and of course, Maggie was enjoying the cool grass for a nap....
.... which is exactly what I wanted to do after sitting on the riding lawnmower for 3 1/2 hours! I was ready for the 'home'!!! A couple more hours to go and all will be mowed. Not today. Maybe tomorrow.
