Thoughts On Weddings, DIY Widow

What Is Really Important? As I am typing a new chapter called, Going to the Chapel, about my own Wedding which can be found on this website under Love Letters from the Heart,  I began wondering just what is really the most important thing about anyone’s Wedding?  So, I decided it was time to write a blog about it. I understand that everyone wants to have a very special and memorable wedding but to what extent and cost.  Does the Bride’s Dad and Mom or the Groom’s Dad and Mom have to go broke?  What if a couple is paying for their own Wedding,  are they to start their...

Use Duct Tape 101, DIY Widow

The Wonderful Uses for Duct Tape It seems to me that one of the most wonderful products on the market out there today and actually for a very long time is duct tape’ This widow uses duct tape for some things you possibly might not ever consider, so I thought I would share some of my secrets with you. What do you do when your water hose has sprung a leak?  Duct tape!  You use duct tape to wrap around the hose covering the hole.  Of course, you might have to wrap several times but believe me, it works, plus it is waterproof. After having found a leak in my water hose and not wanting to...

Copy and Paste 101, DIY Widow

Distant Friends Again My computer does not like me.  Just when I thought, that we were becoming closer friends, the computer has decided to distance itself from me again.  I don’t remember doing anything to upset my computer but it is evidently not happy with me and punishing me. To transfer letters that I have typed that were written to me by my husband I have to be able to copy, paste and unload the key.  I do not have a mouse yet so this is done entirely by certain keys held down together. You hold down the SHIFT + Arrow keys to highlight release then hold down together the CTRL + c...

Computer Volume, DIY Widow

I Need More Volume! Well, I have finally become a distant friend of my computer.  The computer “allows” me to turn it on, go to Google, search for a tab, have more than one tab displayed at a time, and then flip back and forth from one tab to another at a time. Being a very kind artificial intelligent complicated device, my computer friend has also allowed me to download Dragon and Grammarly. Just in case you do not know what Dragon is, it is a voice to text device that will allow you to speak into it then type what you say.  Of course, Dragon will ask you for examples of your...
