Hurray!  the laptop is back, and it works!  so I'm revising this to add photos

Weekly Update 7/5/2015

This will be an adventure. My laptop died. I know I will have to replace it, but I wanted to see if I could do my blog from the iPad. Here goes--

I went to a Sand Gnat baseball game on Monday. I don't like baseball, but I try to get to one local "professional" game every year. This will be my last chance. The owners of the Gnats held the City hostage to build a new stadium, but apparently Savannah needs a lot of things more than an expensive venue for a mediocre Class A team. So next year, there will be a Mets farm team somewhere in South Carolina, but not here. The Gnats won, 3-1. It was not exciting.

The front doors to all the units in this end of building 5 were painted this week. They really look nice. So now the railings and doors in my building are done, and they look a lot better. 

I spent a lot of time at the pool this week. But also in front of the TV. I watched a lot of Wimbledon, and will watch during the coming week, too. I borrowed the first two seasons of The Office from the library, and I watched episodes late at night. I'd forgotten how truly funny I find this show. I often wonder about bothering my neighbors with the volume of my TV set late at night, but this week they might have been more bothered by the loud laughing. 

Saturday, the 4th of July holiday, I went downtown to Colonial Park Cemetery for the annual DAR presentation of wreathes at the grave of Button Gwinnett, Savannah's signer of the Declaration of Independence. There was a talk given by a reenactor that I think I recognize from Old Fort Jackson about James Habersham. The program was short, but that was ok - it was hot and the bugs were out celebrating. I thought about driving to Fort George, but decided against it, and instead watched the tennis. After BC on Sunday, I intended to go to Forsyth Park for Shakespeare in the park, but a storm rolled through as the play was about to begin so I didn't do that either.

I can't load photos from my camera to this iPad, so I have no pictures this week. Depending on whether my lap top can be fixed, or how quickly I can get a new one, I may be able to add some to next weeks update. Stay tuned. 

(So, now that I've been able to add a couple of photos, I have to say that I'm quite proud of myself that I was able to load the blog on the iPad. It's easier when I do it the way I've always, but I was at least able to figure it out when I was forced to do something different.)
