My day was full: it began with prayer, first just me and God, then I joined my friend Dale. She was having some PC difficulties so after our prayer time I helped her. Then I went over to her pasture and worked with her horse and donkey. The horse is very "user friendly" but the donkey would rather not be touched, thank you. So, the goal being to earn the donkey's trust to be able to tame it, I spent two and a quarter hours messing with them. I gained much ground with that little donkey but still was not able to touch her. A couple more times and I will. If they had a round pen it would have happened today - but their pasture is very big and very hilly. I REALLY enjoyed my time with them both - but boy did I get the exercise!!!
Then lunch and home.
I hadn't been home very long when Dale called me back and said she had lost some files on her Mac. So I drove back over to her house and spent the rest of the day and evening doing stuff for her on her Mac and on her Windows PCs. I learned a lot about Apple computers with Mac operating system... all very interesting. I even transferred a bunch of files from one computer to the other, and copied some files to DVD for her.
I don't care for Mac computers but probably that is because I have been using Windows since Windows 95 - was there an earlier version? That's as far back as I can remember!! (Just wait until YOU are old and decrepit like me! LOL Your memory won't be any better than mine!! Though I DO remember Windows 95!!) The FIRST computer I can remember using was an Apple II - and THAT was a LONG time ago!! But I guess anybody that can run around in a pasture up and down hill for two and a quarter hours with a horse and a wild donkey can't be in too bad a shape!!
Today was very full and very educational: it was a great day. I did three things that I REALLY enjoy: prayer with a friend, helping someone with computer issues, and working with horses (donkeys count, too!) AND, I feel like I passed the test - whatever the test was - by being able to help Dale with her computer issues - especially on that Mac.
And so, I retire tired but happy, or should I say "exhausted but VERY happy!!"?!!
