I believe it was the day after my last post (saying that Fran needed a computer) that one was donated by friends in Oaxaca! It is newer than my Mac, has almost twice the capacity, and a large screen, but I am NOT JEALOUS! I AM NOT!!! And neither is Marisol. No, we are not.
I had the hard disk reformatted and loaded with Office and Photoshop, got her a mouse and a sound cable, and she's in business. We are waiting for some additional memory so it won't be so slow (that's the only thing I'm not jealous about!)
We set her up in a corner of the living room next to the window, and she still uses the table in front of the window to study.
We have already given deep thanks to Cara (my fellow Quaker) and her husband Eugenio, but it isn't possible to give enough thanks for this valuable tool and window to the world. And I can't give enough gratitude to the universe that the person who received this gift -- Fran -- is so worthy of it.
I've been a bit under the weather, but soon I will be back to illustrating this blog with more pictures!
