Just Catching up

Again it’s been a few days since I wrote. Part of the problem is that our Verizon MiFi connection is very weak and non-existent most of the time. After my last post, I got a message from Blogger the Google site I use for writing the blog:

Whoops! You're out of space. You are using 100% of your 1 GB quota for photos.Purchase more storage

Photos are stored in your Picasa Web Albums account and are included in your 1 GB free quota for photos. Additional storage you purchase is shared between Gmail, Picasa Web Albums, and Google Docs, and is in addition to your free quota.Learn more 

The message indicated that I had used 100% of my free 1 gigabyte of Picasa Web picture storage. Subsequently my only option if I wanted to continue to upload pictures, was to buy more space, a minimum of 20 gigabytes for $5 a year. It's suppose to take 24 hrs. to renew but apparently it's taking longer. That's why there's no pictures today.

Our new volunteer neighbors had arrived by the time we got home. They were lucky to have 3 days to get settled before starting to work. You may recall we went to work the day after we arrived. They are much older than us but seem to be nice people. They began their first day in the work rotation today. 

Saturday evening we had Nicki and our new neighbors over for dinner in our rig as we watched the Florida Gators vs. Alabama. Unfortunately The Gators suffered a defeat. We had the chance to say our final goodbyes to Nicki and wished her well in her new job in Colorado. She’s since called and told us that she had made it safely to Colorado.

Tonight we’ve had some storms roll into the area around us. So far no rain here at the refuge but we’ve had some rain and lightning in the area.
