Did I mention I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new iMac computer. My sister asked me what kind of Mac it was and the question threw me. “Um, it’s not the laptop type. It’s a MAC, what more do you need to know? It’s not a P.C.,” I told her on the phone.
Which had another friend and me thinking, how did PCs get to be the only computers that were “personal computers.” Why were Macs excluded from being “personal computers?” I think I may know, now. Macs aren’t good as “general labels” because they are more than “personal acquaintances” like those PCs. Macs are intuitive and know what you want and need without really asking. I think my MAC can read my mind.Â
I was scanning the Internet looking for a driver for my little Canon Powershot camera to download pics from Halloween. A bit more googling showed me that my MAC did not need drivers, I could hook the USB cord right into the back of the MAC and let iPhoto do the rest. Hi-tech indeed!
So here are images from Halloween. I couldn’t say I maintained a true mom’s blog without picturing the duo in action.
Here is our “crafting/eating project, that Willy Wonka would appreciate.
 Note the black icing on Kate’s face. It really is a wonder that ANY candy got on the house in the first place. We “built” this homestead after Halloween so we could use more of our Friday night booty on it. I think I may need to buy a village of gingerbread house kits next year so we can just use up all the candy as building materials rather than raw food resources.
Here, of course, is the trick-or-treaters in action, heading out for their big night. (Joe and I think we are too big to dress up for Halloween. I would have worn my red Chinese dress that Joe brought back for me as well, but even at size “XL” it is WAY too small for me.)
And here is the aftermath. What a holiday!
