Drifting through life

 Last Wednesday I was clattering about in the kitchen, so the girls came in to see what was going on. Meg: I see empty cans, tomato soup and four bean mix Riley: the beans are already strained and rinsed Gillian: over here is a carrot and a quarter cabbage Jordan: and Gracula!

They also hold movies, lots of movies :)   open the "pictures" folder on your computer locate the little folder icon in the top corner, unless yours is located somewhere else click on that to create a new folder which you then label 'thumb drive' or anything else you want to call it as long as you remember what you called it. have your empty thumb drive ready, I like these tiny little ones this is what the other side looks like, this one is a 32GB size, holds HEAPS! plug it into the usb port on your laptop, not all laptops have the usb ports on the left hand side.
