wednesday's words and wanderings and wonderings

Yesterday's "Oy" computer panic moment turned into a real "DUH" moment with the young tech guru at the Apple store. I explained what was going on and in less than the time it took me to tell him about my computer, he figured out the problem. Somehow I had changed my user screen to the guest user screen. He fixed it with a couple clicks. Gen Z youngster to this ole Boomer's rescue. On my way out of the store, I stopped to ask a customer service rep about phones and ended up buying a new one. A good day for technology!

This past weekend we went to Cleveland for our granddaughter's first birthday party. She turned one at the beginning of March but the party venue's availability was at the end of the month. She sure attacked that birthday cake with enthusiasm, aided by her brother and cousin. Such fun to have family and friends together to celebrate this little lady.

Back in the day, I had a speech disfluency where my "s" came out as a "th" and I took thome thpeech therapy to thtraighten thingth out. When my daughter was little, she had a speech disfluency where the "th" sound came out as as "f." With was wif, think came out as fink. This license plate took me back to her days of working with her speech-language pathologist to fix this fing wif her fs.

Some kitchen fun - making pickled red onions to put on ground chicken tacos. Pickling softens the onion flavor but adds a little zestiness to balance heavier dishes, like homemade tacos.
