Thanksgiving

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving weekend!  The weather here was amazing!  Wasn't expecting these 26 degree days in the Fall.  Was out too late on Friday and was also feeling run down from the my trip, so had a pretty relaxed Saturday and Sunday biking, checking out the waterfront and a farmer's market too and generally hanging in the sun.  My Sister and W. had us over for a nice Thanksgiving meal on Sunday.  Our family rarely does Thanksgiving as we are usually scattered about on this weekend and believe it or not this may have the first turkey in our family... ever.  (Usually it's roast beef, or worse -- rotisserie chicken at a restaurant!)

Today I strolled through the mall and saw the sticky note tribute to Steve Jobs.  Amazing to think of how much one man can accomplish.  I like the notes that read "Heaven just needed a new CEO."

Goodnight!  

Apple time!

It's apple season! Hoping to be able to go apple picking this year... maybe on the weekend. Last year I ended up with my foot in a cast and missed out.

How cute are these serving dishes? Would be great to serve up a nice apple crumble with scoop of old-fashioned vanilla ice cream.

Found in MaryandGrace's Etsy shop.

Great customer service makes me happy!

Earlier in the year I got my 20-inch iMac at the Apple Store at the Eaton Centre. Never having had much experience (nor luck) with computers, I signed up for their One-to-One program. I've been going in religiously and learning everything to do with my Mac. This time around, I'm going to take full advantage of my computer and not just fudge around like I did with my previous machines which were all PCs. Yes... I've been converted to a Mac person. I'm now going to be so much more on the ball with my MoonRox paperwork. I might even enjoy it now that I know how to make proper spreadsheets!

And, I have been building my new website using iWeb. It's still a work in progress, but check it out if you have a moment or two.

So I have worked with several of the trainers at the Eaton Centre store and they have all been great. They are generally super-helpful, patient, accommodating and professional. One kind trainer was especially helpful today, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to share my good experience with the Apple Store and the One-to-One program. Now if only I could improve on my two-finger typing...
