As I tried to work on my blog today I noticed I could not get into the systems that support me. Without going into a diatribe of\u00a0details,\u00a0suffice it to say I will learn soon that the entire system that supports all the\u00a0IT in my office is down due to a hard drive failure on one of\u00a0the hosts supporting virtual machines. I will also soon learn\u00a0it will be down for many days to come. It’s not going to be an easy problem to resolve.<\/p>\n

Normally there is an easy fix. Not this time. Had you wondered why I’m doing these in arrears? That is the major reason why.<\/p>\n

The day will start off slow. Gloria is out on a hike with others while Olivia goes for a run. I am working with Helen to see if we can put paddles on the heart of these\u00a0machines to get things to work again. No luck. It’s dead. I have backups and the like so it shouldn’t be too hard to recover if it weren’t for the fact that I’m 5 days away from getting there if I can’t get a technical type to help me.<\/p>\n

We head over to my aunt and uncle’s home who live in Alto near Riudoso. They have this huge spread of food and drink for everyone to enjoy. They have seriously gone above and beyond to make sure everyone has enough food.<\/p>\n

The view from the deck<\/a>\u00a0is very nice!<\/p>\n

There was plenty of room for everyone to sit, or not as the case may be with the children I didn’t see any of the little ones sit while I was there.<\/p>\n

We may have lost a few of them over the mountain ledge. We didn’t have name tags or take roll call so I have no idea how many there were to start with. I think the parents know how many there are and were keeping track of their whereabouts. But I’m not certain of that either.<\/p>\n

The format was super nice. Everyone got to ease into their respective days. Whether they wanted to eat breakfast, get some exercise or whatever we didn’t rush that.<\/p>\n

We met in the afternoons for dinner followed by cards and games at various homes where the children could run completely out of juice while some of the parents had some; along with laughter, stories and the like.<\/p>\n

Life has us all spread apart. It’s too bad we can’t get together more often.<\/p>\n

It was fun. I’m glad we made the journey west.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
