Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

Whew!

Let me tell you, technology is great when it works,and when it glitches out on you…it’s beyond frustrating!!

Most of you visiting my blog also run a blog, so i know you understand this perfectly. However, you don’t have to be a blogger to understand that tech is useful but sometimes a real pain.

I will not go into the boring details, but let’s just say that 90% of my day’s work went up in smoke when an app froze up. I have not figured out the lesson in it yet, but I’m still alive and kicking, so it hasn’t got me down for the count.

Let’s just talk about something fun.

I survived my first zip line trip, made it through a high ropes course, and feel really glad for that. I doubt I’ll have any desire to repeat the ropes portion ever, but the zip lining was pretty fun. Woman with helmet for zip lining

This was my face all day. 🥴

That’s a random bit of trivia from over here. How about something interesting from your life recently?

Thanks for coming by!

Have a great week!

  2. Thanks so much for hosting! We love participating in this fun link up!

    I agree with you about technology… I love it when it’s working, but it can be quite frustrating if you hit a glitch! That brings back memories of tech breakdowns in my kindergarten classroom before I retired. Yikes… nothing worse that having 24 little ones ready to go, only to find out that the tech isn’t cooperating! I appreciate your positive attitude. it definitely helps in such situations! 💕

What is your experience? 💜 I read every comment, and so many times I find that I gain encouragement from what’s shared. ❤️
