Restored Faith

My faith in the goodness of man-kind has been restored. There was an hour delay because of snow today. When it was time to go out for the bus we all bundled up and headed to the bottom of the driveway. I grabbed a shovel on the way down figuring it was as good a time as any to start shoveling. I let Dante have a turn with the shovel first. He could hardly lift it even with out snow on it. Then I started, promising Kaleb he could have a turn when I was done. Hardly 2 minutes into my turn a plow truck drove past, backed up and signaled for us to back up. We did and he plowed the whole bottom of the driveway for us. It did my heart good to know there are still decent people out there that are willing to give of their time to help others. (Kaleb did have a turn with the shovel but he found it more amusing to pick up clumps of snow and throw them.)

After the kids left for school I headed up to Lewiston to do some shopping. The roads were really bad on the way up. I fish-tailed a few times but managed to get where I was going safely. Shopping was great. I left with way to many bags of stuff. I love craft stores!! The way home the roads were a bit better. I was cruising with the windows cracked, heat cranked up, music blasting, eating cheese curls and singing as loud as I could. There's not much better than that. It all started when a really great song came on the radio. "Bartender Song (Sittin' At A Bar)" by Rehab. I love that song.

Because there is a bad computer virus on the loose my dad suggested that I password protect my computer. I did with a password I use often but he thought that it would be to easy for a computer to crack it so he suggested that I pick random letters, numbers and symbols.......so I did. I typed them in twice and saved it than wrote on paper what the combination was. When I got home today Windows had updated and needed me to restart my computer so I did. When it reloaded I tried to put in my password and it said it wasn't correct. After trying 5 or 6 times I asked Mike for help. He tried several variations of my password and couldn't get in. Luckily my dad figured it out. We got lucky and there was an administrator account that wasn't password protected and we got in. (I changed my password back to some thing easy......I'll take my chances with hackers.)

We didn't do much this evening. The kids wanted to watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" during supper so we did. Than I played Play Station till bedtime so they could watch.
