NO KIDDING! I have gone to the ends of the earth to bring you this Week 10 article. Personally, I’d like to thank Paul, Cindy and Alana for putting their technological minds into making this computer work. It wasn’t easy. And they were so willing and helpful. My old computer breathed its last breath last week and I have been lost. There’s just so many Hallmark movies to watch.
