HIS + HERS

by Sara on May 17th, 2009

I gave my MacBook to Dick. Sure, I have my moments of being sweet, but I’m thrilled to say that after about 6 months of zero activity, our iMac G5 is up and running again! So the desktop is mine, the laptop is his.

We’ve been saving to buy a new iMac and were fully prepared to recycle the G5. Luckily we held off… We took it in for a 2nd opinion from a different Apple store, and lo and behold, after a few days spent at the Genius Bar, it’s back home again with us, working like a charm.

If you’re the owner of a broken G5, be aware of the capacitor plague; apparently it’s a common problem with these machines. But the good news is, it’s fixable.

And because I like him and think he’s cute, here are some pictures of Dick using his new laptop, giving me hand signs. (?)

UTAH – MAY 09

by Sara on May 16th, 2009

Dick and I flew to Utah last weekend to see my sister Julie graduate from the University of Utah. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a single picture with my camera during the ceremony or during the party that followed (my battery was dead! Grr).

I did manage to capture a few other highlights of the trip:

First up, Dick, giving me a little sewing lesson. Well, more like an embroidery lesson using his mom’s fancy machine. His talents are endless.

We were able to spend Mothers Day with my mother-in-law, Janet. Isn’t she a babe in that pink top? The family chipped in and got her a new ipod and speaker deck. I love that she has become an audiobook junkie like her son.

I hung out with my photographer friend, Wynona Robison, a couple times. We saw Phoebe In Wonderland at the Broadway theatre, and I gave her a haircut in exchange for a Photoshop crash course. Lucky trade for me as she’s a processing genius.

The weather was divine; coming home to 100 degree heat was a little rough. The good news is Eleanor is here visiting while her parents vacation in Rome and Athens. I’m sure pictures of her will follow shortly.
