Surprises and Glitches

I got a fun surprise today. Missy from swimming had been telling me for a week that she would have a surprise for me today. We were met at coffee after swimming by a woman I had known about 40 years ago when we both worked at a knit shop in Hendersonville. I recognized her immediately as somebody from the past, but had to ask her name and "where". We both had small children at the time, and helped out part-time at the knit shop, mostly for a discount on yarn and to get out of the house. It was a fun time.

She is still working with fiber, knitting, and weaving. She, too, went back to school as an art major, and has been teaching classes at the folk school and other places. There a newer knit shop in Hendersonville, and she knits with a group there once a week. Missy had met her through a mutual knitting friend, and in conversation, discovered that they both knew me. It was fun to go through all the "do you remember..." things. I hope we meet up again sometime.

FJ is having a really strange computer glitch. She's just gotten her first laptop (finally), and her sons-in-law have set up a wireless network in the house. She has the same e-mail address and set-up on both the laptop and the desktop. But an e-mail that comes into one computer does not show up on the other. Two e-mails can be sent by the same person to the same address, but one will go to one computer and one to the other. If she sends an e-mail to herself, it only goes to the computer from which it was sent. She can do everything else she wants to do on the laptop, and all is wonderful, except for this one not-so-small thing. Nobody seems to be able to solve the problem. Any suggestions???
