When I arrived in Bakersfield in late September my plan was to have a growth removed from the top of my head and return to Aticama. Since this would mean that I would not be in Bakersfield for Christmas, my brother Rick and his wife Karen decided that I should receive my gifts in October. Actually, the gifts started the moment I walked in the door. The kitchen counter had been redecorated with 5 big bottles of my favorite scotch: J & B. The only thing I could think of to say was: "I like what you have done with the place!"
The gifts started with two great pairs of flip-flops as they are the only footwear I use. The big Christmas gift was a new laptop computer to replace the one that was stolen in Aticama. I shopped and researched for almost a month before deciding on the Lenovo. I had never heard of this brand before but in a Google search for "Top Ten Laptops" three Lenovo laptops made the top ten.
This little computer has all the bells and whistles with a 500 gig hard drive and 6 gigs of memory. It also has a built in camera and microphone so I will be able to Skype from Mexico. It's so nice to have a wonderful family!
After a month I can report that I am completely happy with the performance of the Lenovo and would recommend it to friends. I have been busy loading the hard drive with music and movies so that when I return to Aticama I will have mucho entertainment.
Good to hear from you again. And wow, what a generous family you have!!! It will be nice to have a brand new laptop again. I read in George's blog about you going home for - I thought he said - back surgery. I hope whatever it was, that everything is good now and you are healthy for the new year. Assuming, of course, that we're all still here after 12/21/12. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a really beautiful Christmas tree, one of the prettiest trees I've ever seen.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas and I wish you lots of fun with the new laptop. Hope you will be able to have it for a long time.

ReplyDeleteWhat model Lenovo did you select? I've been looking for a replacement also.
