Technical Difficulties

Good evening, my friends. We had an easy-going day today. We visited the Quilter's Cottage in Fallbrook, California. I was on the hunt for a backing fabric for the Shop Hop 4.0 quilt...this one:


I didn't find any fabric I liked. That's okay...I'll find something somewhere else. There will be more quilt shops down the road. From there, we walked in a nearby "preserve." We walked most of the trails in the Los Jilgueros Preserve. You can read about it at that link. While there, I took around 35 pictures. Sadly, when I uploaded them to my laptop, they went...somewhere...who knows where. Even Mike, the engineer, was unable to find them again. I saw them on the screen, and then they disappeared. We're at a loss. So...I regret that I have no pictures from our hike to show you. 

As a background, the computer automatically updated a few days ago, and we ended up with a "One Drive" app that seems to have decided it can do whatever it wants on the laptop. Mike spent some time this morning undoing everything it had done. Now, in our effort to find the pictures again, we added the One Drive app back to the laptop, and it went back to doing its dirty work. He'll have to undo all of that again, but somehow the pictures have disappeared, and we are unable to retrieve them. 

At this point, I'll just avoid deleting the pictures from the camera when I upload them until we're certain we can find them on the laptop. I won't lose any pictures that way, but we're still trying to figure out how to avoid this problem with One Drive. With that going on, I might take a couple of days off from blogging until we can get these technical issues set right. 

Sorry for the interruption in our conversation. I'll be back in a day or two.
