My laptop has died. This morning I tried to log on and got the evil "no hard drive detected" message. It couldn't just hang in there for another two weeks? Anyway, everything was backed up so I won't lose anything but I just can't think of purchasing a replacement at this moment. I do have another computer waiting at home I can use. I will not have as readily available access to the blog for the next couple of weeks so things may be slow to come.

Today we spent most of the day cleaning and shopping and getting ready to host the fancy dress party. We did manage to relax for a little while in the afternoon so we weren't totally exhausted by the time people started to arrive.

The party was a blast. I will have to let the pictures tell the story. I need to download the software and the photos to Eric's computer and will post them on Monday.
