BAD COMPUTERS !!!

HI ALL,
I am typing this at Darlene's request.  It was supposed to go up last week when her computers went to the Computer Doctor.  Yes, I said computerS!  Laptop went blue screen, New Laptop wouldn't connect to the internet, and Desktop would go to sleep and not wake up unless she unplugged it and plugged it back in.  NOT GOOD.  
She hoped to be able to get online at the hotel where Nationals was being held, but the price that they were charging for use of the computers and connection to the internet was outside of her budget. 
Anyway, for those of you who have emailed and received no response or checked the blog and wondered why there were no updates from Nationals, that is the reason. 
I will try to make additional posts with the information from the HCA Regional and HCA National.  
Darlene is heading over to the local library today to try to get online.  With the extreme heat and school being out, there was a 3 hour wait for a computer last week.  She is expecting the same today.  
Thanks for your patience. 
VB for Darlene

It will be really nice if they get the air conditioning working in the show building for tomorrow.  104 degrees in the shade is a bit much for anyone to tolerate.  The only ones that didn't mind were the old lady ring stewards who go to the shows and sleep in their un-airconditioned vans with their dogs, year round.  The judges, the exhibitors, and most importantly THE DOGS, were not remotely comfortable.  I was just glad that we thought ahead to bring the cool pads and fan for our dogs.

Happy Birthday to a wonderful brother-in-law, Rich Dolack.
Remember teaching me to drive...or have you blocked that out?

Hope you had a wonderful 4th (Birthday Eve Celebration).
Big Hugs all around.  Hope to see you soon.
Love ya,

Photo removed at the request of my sister.  I guess it's OK to have crap all over facebook but one photo attached to a birthday wish is just too much for them. 

Happy Independence Day !!!

Remember:  


Those who go forth with a fifth on the 4th,
may not live to go forth on the 5th!


Have fun, Be Safe.
