Why do we run free computer classes?

It's a beautiful Monday afternoon in Florida.  I am always amazed how many people show up for our computer class.  We are talking about golfers, bikers, kayakers.  This late in the season people are packing up and getting ready to head north yet they take two hours on a beautiful sunny afternoon to come to class.

This was not an easy learning week, we were covering more advanced topics than usual.  How to get rid of Adware, Spyware and generally clean up a computer.  Our classes are typically 2 hours - one hour of presentation and one hour of answering questions and fixing problems. The presentation piece with all the questions went a lot longer than we expected but people were able to follow with their laptops.  After class people just stayed to talk and to listen while we responded to others asking questions.

These are the things that make doing these class really rewarding.

Celebrating the Ides of March

One of our long family traditions has been to celebrate the Ides of March by killing a Caesar or two,   Well now, we brought that tradition to our friends at Rock Crusher Canyon.
We spent a fantastic day enjoying Caesars, some nice appraisers and some of Bettyann's great chili.
Two couples, Buck and Lisa, Charlie and Mary and George and Sheila couldn't be with us.  Lisa had to be home, in spite of the bad weather in Indiana, to be with her daughter for the birth of her first baby and Charlie and Mary had to be in Myrtle Beach to see there grand child.  Everyone else gathered outside our motorhome and had a great day that lasted well into the evening.  They all did great damage to Caesar.

This is my second year enjoying the Turkey Fry here at Rock Crusher.  The event gathers 40 or 50 of our neighbours for conversational afternoon followed be a great turkey dinner.  Fritz and Casper organize the event, cook the turkeys and provide the gathering place outside their motorhome.  Richard and Paulette provded a big cooked ham and to enhance all of this everyone contributes somehow with a dish or two in "pot luck" fashion.  Even with all those people there is not chance they will run out of food.
After the very filling dinner it is nice to relax around a nice warm fire, enjoying the star filled sky and the not too cool air.  Overall, a great day.
