Update...20130820
It has been a while since writing anything. Well I did get the Thrive and it was great, I even got a used one for my wife Tina. It is her main machine now.
At the Lynden Community / Senior Center, more seniors now have Tablets, either iPad or Android. With the prices for good 7 inch tablets at around $150 at Walmart, more will by in. Mostly used for games, some for reading ebooks. I hope to be getting the New Nexus 7 and will be wiping my thrive and selling it to my Daughter Brandi.
Stormy my other daughter and I will be taking a mini vacation at the end of this month. We'll be going to visit my mom and stepdad Tom in Fruitland, Idaho. we'll be leaving on a Thursday and coming back on Sunday. While there, I'll be bringing my Chromebook and plan to give it to my mom, since I understand they have free wifi in their trailer park.

Other news... well Tina will be getting a Kidney transplant in Oct-Nov time frame. The donor is her sister in law Jackie. Since the last post, Tina has had two major surgeries, one in 2012 which repaired two hernias and removal of hanging skin from lost weight and water from Dialysis. Then this year in June, she had her left nonfunctional kidney show signs of growths and so they decided to get it out. It turned out that the growths where three different kinds of kidney cancer and the best news is the removal was self contained and Tina does not need any chemo or radiation therapy.
my hope is that by next year at this time or earlier, we'll be on the road visiting everyone, we have longed to visit. Although, we have a few friends that have passed. We can still grieve with family that still with us. I know Tina is very focused on getting off dialysis, my hopes are with her in this effort.
type at ya all later.
